My favorite part was watching Greg and Rashad share a moment together after all the drama they have gone through leading up to the fight. Life is too short to hold grudges against those who have helped us make a living.
Man, it's so tough for me to see a fighter after a loss. I couldn't imagine how they are feeling, its so much more than a loss to them. Nothing but respect. How people can talk trash about these guys, is beyond me.
Rashad is the guy who did the best performance against jones. he rocked him couple of times and the first man to get jones on his back (5th round) and the first man to go 5 rounds with jones looking fine after the fight.. he got my respect.
maybe, but look at the guys who have tried to rush in and fight Jones aggressive. Rashad is the only guy to not be finished by the Champion version of Jones. That says something. Rashad could have fought this fight like the machida fight but i think the results would have been similar.
I'll ride with Belcher and Diaz. Don't know about Barry/Johnson. And Koshcheck/Hendricks really is like a mirror with same fight styles, skills, plus southpaw vs orthodox. I guess Hendricks would have the edge standing for that reason. So either he'll get the finish or Koshcheck by decision will be my prediction. Dana might be giving out more than one FON bonus on Saturday. Great match ups
If Jones manages to go undefeated id expect for him to be placed above silva His resume is already full of really top guys. Silva has title defenses over not so stellar comp like Patrick Cote, Thalies lates, Travis Lutter & Damian Miaia. Machida, Rampage, Rashad, Shogun, & now Hendo
He was still doing great. He won the first I think. And 2nd he was still scaring Jones and controlling the pace. After, specially with those elbows and not listening to his corner he froze. He even said that he froze some 3rd, 4th, 5th. He let Jones get comfortable and start doing his magic. Rashad could have done a lot better and he knows it. Even still, he gave Jones his toughest fight yet. If he wins 2-3 in a row convincingly and Jones still champion maybe rematch.
seeing rashad evans in that much pain after the fight brings tears to my eyes. he went thru alot of shit. hope he bounces back up and kicks some ass. forever an evans fan!!!!
Greg and winkeljohn going to Rashad after the fight changes a lot of things. Hope they all can exept the situation, greg is the best coach on earth and jon and rashad are great fighters, with great personalities
Good point. Finally someone with a brain who realized Jon Jones isn't on the BEST level yet. Not saying he's bad..cause obviously he's not, but to say hes on Silva's level is insane. Silva makes his opponents look stupid because he's so good and toys with them. Jones on the other hand, while he dominates, he doesn't make it seem easy. With rashad and rampage and machida, you could tell Jon was getting tired and also worried a bit. He sticks his hand out and plays defensive as well.
This is a great card, if i had to bet on one fight id go for Palhares. i cant see that fight going any other way than Palhares ripping Belcher's leg off
Jon Jones MADE me a fan. Didn't like him at first, but the dudes for real. Lotta love for Rashad. That dude has so much talent and heart, he'll be back in that fight wiser.
The guy is right on the note that Anderson's wrestling is mediocre, which is why the majority of his loses were from submission.Both have unorthodox striking too.Its a tough call because (taking no sides) Jon has amazing wrestling and takedown skills and some pretty mean striking abilities. Silva has phenomenal striking and ground game. I mean if Silva does choose Jon to fight in his new 10 fight contract and loses, you'll probably say "Hes not 100%" or "just cause hes older now, but before..."
DIAZ!? R U KIDDING ME!? Look at who Miller has fought and stopped. He submitted Olivera, AND Guillard, and went the distance with Bendo...MIller has my vote on this one!!!
i feel your pain man i had high hopes for evans hes my man i was disapointed he was in his old form super speedy takedowns and just controlling dudes... i think he was in the best shape for his rematch with tito
i MOST DEFINITELY concur!!!! Anderson has wiped out the WHOLE MIDDLEWEIGHT DIVISION....."TWICE!!!!!!". And not only like GSP who GRINDS OUT DECISIONS,"The Spider" finishes them.....no questions asked.I like watching Chael Sonnen,he can talk all the B.S. he wants about a "Fake Belt" and YES he did beat up Anderson for over 4 Rounds,BUT,it was Mr. Sonnen was the 1 who tapped out and gave up!!!!!!!
ALL main events from now on will be 5 rounds, before it was just PPV and UFC on FOX main events and title matches that were co-mains that would go 5 rounds but the Ellenberger-Sanchez fight made Dana change his mind and all main events booked from here on in, including UFC on FOX and UFC on Fuel TV will go 5 rounds. This didnt apply to the recent FX and Fuel cards as they were booked before the decision was made.
Jones may well end up being more effective than Anderson, but Anderson will always be the "greatest". Jones' thing is that he's just bigger and stronger than everyone else. Against Machida he was losing the technical battle, till he landed one big punch. With Anderson it's all skill. But Jones has the wrestling side covered. That's one thing he'll always have over Anderson. Against Sonnen Anderson looked very vulnerable to strong wrestling.
I wish someone with a good camp would fight Jones. Rashad's a great fighter, but you can't rely on Van Arsdale to be your strategy guy. When someone gets in there who uses trip takedows, body shots, and a lot of leg kicks, Jones isn't going to be able to coast.
Damn, Rashad was heartbroken. He could have done it. He fought good, but he froze some and let Jones get off in later rounds. Rashad did so good 1st, 2nd round.
For real, I kinda agree with Faber. I personally feel as if Dom has little to no fans at all. Thumbs up if you think Dom is the most boring (personality wise, not necessarily style wise) champion in the UFC.
Kind of looked like he was looking for a pattern and Jones wouldn't give him any. Thats why he's so cool to watch because he's unpredictable, like Anderson.
Jones was right about one thing, after he defeats Evans, Evans will be doing some serious soul searching. I mean what was the bit about him being too old for the sport now? Seems he is even casting doubts on himself. For me, I think Evans was crushed by this defeat and might take sometime, if ever, to reach the top again. Not a hater, HUGE fan of Evans, I really wanted him to put it on Jones but instead he went turtle mode. Which for me, was an average fight to spectate.
You are right..they booed Evans and Jones i seriously don't know why they came to watch in the first place if they don't like the main event. This is bad for the sport
I never realized how huge dana has gotten, faber is enormous for his weight class and dana makes him look like a little kid. When did he get in such good shape? Used to be a fat little dude.
Even if Chael does beat Anderson there is no way that will make him even a top 3 p4p. The whole idea of p4p is basically who has the greatest skills and is the most well-rounded. The reason guys like Silva and Aldo are on that list are cause they knock ppl the fuck out on the feet but are also very great on the ground. I dont remember the last time Chael did much on the feet lol. Its just his wrestling style is a bad match up for Anderson
these vlogs are good I dont think alot of these guys realize how hard these dudes train for fights than end up losing 2-3 months of your life dedicated to fighting a guy to lose man that must be a shit feeling
Love Rashad's Dana impression ahhaa
Every time I watch these vlogs reminds me why I love this sport- class. 95% of them show respect to someone they just knocked out/ got knocked out by.
My favorite part was watching Greg and Rashad share a moment together after all the drama they have gone through leading up to the fight. Life is too short to hold grudges against those who have helped us make a living.
Would like to see some crowd reactions during the fight. That was something I loved in the old blogs.
Man, it's so tough for me to see a fighter after a loss. I couldn't imagine how they are feeling, its so much more than a loss to them. Nothing but respect. How people can talk trash about these guys, is beyond me.
That was the best opening to a Vlog ever.
Lmao at the start ...good shit dana 4 cominthru wit some funny as blogs
great look before and after the big fight Dana. thanks.
I love it when Dana laughs his ass off, it's hella contagious
Miss these vlogs. They need to do more.
Rashad is the guy who did the best performance against jones. he rocked him couple of times and the first man to get jones on his back (5th round) and the first man to go 5 rounds with jones looking fine after the fight.. he got my respect.
wow, good fun dana with a good fun video blog! keep it up pall ;)
Epic beginning!
gotta love the behind the scene after fight
maybe, but look at the guys who have tried to rush in and fight Jones aggressive. Rashad is the only guy to not be finished by the Champion version of Jones. That says something. Rashad could have fought this fight like the machida fight but i think the results would have been similar.
Rashad's impression of Dana was hilarious, LOLOOOLOLOL!!!
Rashad's strategy was to fight scared, throw 1 or 2 punches a round and go the distance without attempting to win. You succeeded Rashad.
I'll ride with Belcher and Diaz. Don't know about Barry/Johnson. And Koshcheck/Hendricks really is like a mirror with same fight styles, skills, plus southpaw vs orthodox. I guess Hendricks would have the edge standing for that reason. So either he'll get the finish or Koshcheck by decision will be my prediction. Dana might be giving out more than one FON bonus on Saturday. Great match ups
Great vlog
LOL love the intro.
If Jones manages to go undefeated id expect for him to be placed above silva
His resume is already full of really top guys. Silva has title defenses over not so stellar comp like Patrick Cote, Thalies lates, Travis Lutter & Damian Miaia. Machida, Rampage, Rashad, Shogun, & now Hendo
He was still doing great. He won the first I think. And 2nd he was still scaring Jones and controlling the pace. After, specially with those elbows and not listening to his corner he froze. He even said that he froze some 3rd, 4th, 5th. He let Jones get comfortable and start doing his magic. Rashad could have done a lot better and he knows it.

seeing rashad evans in that much pain after the fight brings tears to my eyes. he went thru alot of shit. hope he bounces back up and kicks some ass. forever an evans fan!!!!
Start of this is hilarious hahaha!!
Greg and winkeljohn going to Rashad after the fight changes a lot of things. Hope they all can exept the situation, greg is the best coach on earth and jon and rashad are great fighters, with great personalities
agreed think hendo will be an interesting fight for him, he's looking great atm
Urijah: "We need to get you some fans."
Dominick: "Fuck you"
Dana: *Tries to hold in a big ass smile*
Good thing silva is befriending every fighter that would tool him, I give him props for that.
wish they had the footage of goldie and rogan cursing on the facebook prelims when goldie messed up and called evans evan LOL
Dana's been SLACKING on the Vlogs!!!!
Good point. Finally someone with a brain who realized Jon Jones isn't on the BEST level yet. Not saying he's bad..cause obviously he's not, but to say hes on Silva's level is insane. Silva makes his opponents look stupid because he's so good and toys with them. Jones on the other hand, while he dominates, he doesn't make it seem easy.

This is a great card, if i had to bet on one fight id go for Palhares. i cant see that fight going any other way than Palhares ripping Belcher's leg off
I still can't believe how fit Big Ben looked compared to before. I hope he keeps up this level of training/diet cause it's workin for him.
Im already a fan on Jon Jones before the Machida fight so it doesn't matter. Jackson is actually being a smart coach. Good advice imo
Cruz being a boss at the start of the video.
Much love for Rashad.
Jon Jones MADE me a fan. Didn't like him at first, but the dudes for real. Lotta love for Rashad. That dude has so much talent and heart, he'll be back in that fight wiser.
that TEE is incredible!!!! i want it!!
Wow dana actually came through with a second blog!!!
The guy is right on the note that Anderson's wrestling is mediocre, which is why the majority of his loses were from submission.Both have unorthodox striking too.Its a tough call because (taking no sides) Jon has amazing wrestling and takedown skills and some pretty mean striking abilities. Silva has phenomenal striking and ground game. I mean if Silva does choose Jon to fight in his new 10 fight contract and loses, you'll probably say "Hes not 100%" or "just cause hes older now, but before..."
Yeah keep your head up rashad you're still the best in my eyes.
Hahaha, didn't even notice that at first.
Thanks man
haha "We need to get you some fans" "Fuck you" "I have fans" fuckin hilarious! classic Cruz and Faber
DIAZ!? R U KIDDING ME!? Look at who Miller has fought and stopped. He submitted Olivera, AND Guillard, and went the distance with Bendo...MIller has my vote on this one!!!
i feel your pain man i had high hopes for evans hes my man i was disapointed he was in his old form super speedy takedowns and just controlling dudes... i think he was in the best shape for his rematch with tito
I love how cruz and faber talk shit to each other
Nick would also dominate in a catchweight fight with the Big Show from WWE, and John Cena too. Nick is just too good.
yeah I saw that too, but Evans just pushed him along, he was still emotional from the loss. Understandable.
Good its available in the states now
Gregg Jackson doesn't always pick sides with his team mates.
But when he does, he trains the favourite.
at 1st i thought it was Greg Jackson tellin Cruz that he needs to make some fans, lol.
thanks for pointing that out
i MOST DEFINITELY concur!!!! Anderson has wiped out the WHOLE MIDDLEWEIGHT DIVISION....."TWICE!!!!!!". And not only like GSP who GRINDS OUT DECISIONS,"The Spider" finishes them.....no questions asked.I like watching Chael Sonnen,he can talk all the B.S. he wants about a "Fake Belt" and YES he did beat up Anderson for over 4 Rounds,BUT,it was Mr. Sonnen was the 1 who tapped out and gave up!!!!!!!
Evans knows he didn't leave it all out there, perhaps fought not to lose instead of fighting to win. So hard to get things going against Jones.
You can see Dana's soul die a little when Cruz calls the main and co-main on Fox going the distance.
ALL main events from now on will be 5 rounds, before it was just PPV and UFC on FOX main events and title matches that were co-mains that would go 5 rounds but the Ellenberger-Sanchez fight made Dana change his mind and all main events booked from here on in, including UFC on FOX and UFC on Fuel TV will go 5 rounds. This didnt apply to the recent FX and Fuel cards as they were booked before the decision was made.
One of Rashad's weaknesses is that he's too cautious that was the problem when he fought Machida and now Jones
Rashad fought damn well I was really impressed by him!
Oh man, seein Rashad depressed like that actually mad me kinda sad, i feel it for him, still a great fighter
Jones may well end up being more effective than Anderson, but Anderson will always be the "greatest".
Jones' thing is that he's just bigger and stronger than everyone else. Against Machida he was losing the technical battle, till he landed one big punch.
With Anderson it's all skill.
But Jones has the wrestling side covered. That's one thing he'll always have over Anderson. Against Sonnen Anderson looked very vulnerable to strong wrestling.
faber is the man! Love their rivalry
Rashad's warm up had more offense than he did during the entire 5 rounds.
I wish someone with a good camp would fight Jones. Rashad's a great fighter, but you can't rely on Van Arsdale to be your strategy guy. When someone gets in there who uses trip takedows, body shots, and a lot of leg kicks, Jones isn't going to be able to coast.
I almost laughed my has of with Urijah and Dominick going at it at the start,
I don't know why but I rewound that shit like 7 times, I cant stop laughing!! :) :)
Damn, Rashad was heartbroken. He could have done it. He fought good, but he froze some and let Jones get off in later rounds. Rashad did so good 1st, 2nd round.
09:06 jackson and rashad.... u can feel the emotions
"Sorry Rashad, time to cut ya." That shit was funny.
UFC on FOX 4 in Aug. maybe?
"Nobody can stop that heel hook"... except Belcher.
8:54 LOL guy in red shirt in the backround
No ufc sweden blog? :c
THAT Greg Jackson pat on the back to Rashad..... Shiiiiiiiiit
For real, I kinda agree with Faber. I personally feel as if Dom has little to no fans at all. Thumbs up if you think Dom is the most boring (personality wise, not necessarily style wise) champion in the UFC.
Kind of looked like he was looking for a pattern and Jones wouldn't give him any. Thats why he's so cool to watch because he's unpredictable, like Anderson.
thanks Dana
We need to get you some fans!!
Ten minute blogs FTW!
LOL greg to evans "maybe don't try fucking with us next time..thats what you get..i told you" *awkward pat on shoulder*
YEA I agree!
Cruz is a real Cool Dude. I hope his Team wins TUF, and he keep his Belt...
I think it was more of Machida's fists and Jones' elbows...
"Were gonna get u some fans" - faber
"Fuck you" - Cruz
hahah
Dana, Can you please put a text with the fighters names, sometimes i cant reconise them. thanks!!
Jones was right about one thing, after he defeats Evans, Evans will be doing some serious soul searching. I mean what was the bit about him being too old for the sport now? Seems he is even casting doubts on himself. For me, I think Evans was crushed by this defeat and might take sometime, if ever, to reach the top again.

You are right..they booed Evans and Jones i seriously don't know why they came to watch in the first place if they don't like the main event. This is bad for the sport
I personally, don't like Jon Jones but he would probably beat Silva and would be a clear favorite to win the fight.
Joe rogan had me in stitches in this video
I never realized how huge dana has gotten, faber is enormous for his weight class and dana makes him look like a little kid. When did he get in such good shape? Used to be a fat little dude.
Even if Chael does beat Anderson there is no way that will make him even a top 3 p4p. The whole idea of p4p is basically who has the greatest skills and is the most well-rounded. The reason guys like Silva and Aldo are on that list are cause they knock ppl the fuck out on the feet but are also very great on the ground. I dont remember the last time Chael did much on the feet lol. Its just his wrestling style is a bad match up for Anderson
IM A FAN. GO CRUZ!!! Thumbs up all DOMIN8R fans!!
greg jackson said on sherdog radio when he said that at ufc 140 that it was taken out of context.
these vlogs are good I dont think alot of these guys realize how hard these dudes train for fights than end up losing 2-3 months of your life dedicated to fighting a guy to lose man that must be a shit feeling
Jim Miller - Nate Diaz is a hard one...
THE CHAMP IS HERE !
I'm gonna have to go with Paul Harris on this one
Cruz!!!! Your 1-3 on your picks!!
Faber!!!! Your 3-1 on your picks!!
Dana has a great life damn, smart and busy business man
Why was this originally not available in my country?
Man, I felt really bad for Hominick. Hope he comes back stronger.
you gotta love dana :)
