Who was the comic book guy and what did he do? Cung Le does have some traditional martial arts background, but apparently he was also a stud wrestler. The Fox broadcast could have been better...at least if the Guida-Henderson fight aired...but who other than Dana hasn't said that.
@TheMightySPLovesMe In the international markets, the UFC actually aired Henderson/Guida. Here in the UK, we saw that fight instead of the 30 minute hype promos.
@MFINN23 Shame you guys didn't get what we had in Australia, on free TV instead of the 30 min build we had the Guida - Benson fight and the Johnson fight after the title fight.
It is truly incredible all the hard work Dana has done in the past ten years to bring this sport and UFC brand to mainstream level. It was ignored and loathed by many. Today, it is accepted and beloved by most. And all the chancers are trying, repeat, TRYING, to jump on the bandwagon and cash in on all of Dana's hard work. Not on Zuffa's watch. It is a shame the amount of critical reception this man gets from clowns who wouldn't even know of the sport if Dana hadn't put it on the map.
@theprodigyPR He participated in an interview a few days ago called 'Off The Record' with Michael Landsburg and the interviewer kept asking Chael non sensical questions and Chael walked off and mocked him.
@performancepoo It reminded me of it when Dana White told Ariel Helwani about everytime him and Joe Rogan would get into phone convos, it would take up about 2 hours.
@JobyJonesJnr thanks man... i mean ..here is a person interviewing chael sonnen and asking him stuff that we havent seen other ppl ask... but what does he do..looks mad confused and leave... and the funniest part ever is him saying who cares if he loses lol goes to show how much he respects his career and the UFC cuz he said if he lost he'll leave the UFC ..i guess he fights for no reason other than trying to gain popularity...
Yes hidnsight is 20/20, but people were crying out for that fight to be on FoX given how it would be an outstanding fight and showcase for MMA. So it's not like people said it after it was fight of the night.
UFC 139 is stacked, so many great matchups.....Hardcore fans certainly dont need extra buzz to watch the event.....And for the cry babies who dont seem to understand the whole Fox event, RELAX and enjoy the full events next year...There is approx 33 Events next year, and 12 are PPV so plenty of free events...Some of you act like you could run the UFC better....I think its about time you show them respect, they've earned it!!!!!!!!! MMA is where it is because of Dana period!!!!
@MFINN23 Yeah but showing Cain watching tv with his wife and his dad picking lettuce was so uber exciting. Oh and who can forget Dos Santos walking around Brazil hugging people. Would you really have rather watched Henderson Vs Guida or Dos Santos at a family part eating food?
@TheMightySPLovesMe 1 fight. 1 hour time slot....There is really no other way to do the broadcast...It wasn't that bad to sit through...I just don't know how people can say I "hated" the fox event.
Chael just could not believe that the interviewer got his facts the wrong way round accusing Chael that HE backed down from the rematch between him and Anderson was a really stupid thing to say if you even moderately follow MMA you know that Chael desperately wants that fight and Anderson was attempting to squirm out of it. Sorry not Anderson but his management! Anderson will fight anyone in his weight class, but it's a business that his management create and that is who was trying to squirm out
Props to Ariel for asking the tough questions here. I wish he would have flat out been able to tell Dana that putting up just one fight was a stupid decision. It always amazes me how I've worked at companies where the big wigs turn out to be such morons who make the wrong decisions.
Everyone is always commenting about how hot Karyn Bryant is, but I gotta say. Ariel would fetch a high price in jail. Specially with great interviews like this one. Keep it up
@TheDomy24 that's where u wrong sir, you're thinking about $ to me Dana is the best cause he's all about the fans ,he care about what we wanna see .....keep in mind I'm a huge boxing/pacquiao fan but bob assrum is all about his pockets..let me ask u this,when was the last time he put pacquiao vs a guy from another promotion??
fuck sakes ariel, everytime dana starts getting into one of his rants you change the subject on him...i don't care so much about your questions you have for him, just let dana talk, thats why we watch....
@piratebri I have my facts perfectly straight actually. I said it was a giant mistake not having the Henderson / Guida fight on Fox. I didn't say it was Dana's mistake, I just said it was a mistake. I know all the facts, perhaps you should put more effort into reading what people say.
@TheDomy24 when it come to that promotion stuff u can't boxing to MMA u just can't the UFC is more like a league kinda like the NFL but in boxing its different.so u mean that you're ok with pac vs Floyd not happening cause they're not under the same umbrella? .
@MagnusWyvern You, and the 66 ppl who thumbs up'd you don't have your facts straight. FOX told Dana they will do 1 fight on Fox. Not 2, not a whole card. Of course Dana would have preferred to put as many fights on Fox as he could, but this was prior to the actual deal start on Fox (starts in January.) But hindsight is always 20/20. But the fact is, it wasn't Dana's call. It was Fox's call. So if it's a mistake, it's their mistake. But remember, the deal doesnt even start til Jan...
i saw that interview wit chael & in canada, that guys questions was mostly stupid & outdated, & dana please......... THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER: SILVA VS SONNEN (AKA BRAZIL VS USA)!!!! PLEASE DANA MAKE IT HAPPEN
@crimescene08 - if you ask a stupid question - you get a stupid answer. The interviewer needs to do his homework!!! Completely agree how Chael reacted. But I want Anderson to win the fight as i agree with the second thing you said that Chael thinks he's better than he is and also Anderson - I believe is the better figher. But will be a damn good fight!
@Boomersays I've noticed he does too. Some fighters have called him on stirring shit up with fighters. I see what they mean now. He's not cool as I used to think
see people bash ariel because karen interviews all the "better people" aka irrelevant people to mma.. ariel has more interviews with lorenzo, dana, and the top fighters than karen and any other interviewer in the world!
rashad does not deserve a title fight yet, he should fight shogun first, henderson vs bones jones would be 1 hell of a fight. also sonnen is a prick, he should get 1 decent challenger b4 fighting silva again.
That was a great interview, Ariel always asks the right queations
Like the Burton shirt Dana! Come out to Whistler for some free snowboard coaching!
Who was the comic book guy and what did he do?
Cung Le does have some traditional martial arts background, but apparently he was also a stud wrestler.
The Fox broadcast could have been better...at least if the Guida-Henderson fight aired...but who other than Dana hasn't said that.
Ariel, great questions!! Congrats!! Can you asking next time you see it about Gegard Mousasi and his transfer to UFC ?? Thanks a lot!
@poolboyinla didn't they air the Guida vs Henderson fight in the US? They showed it in Australia before the JDS vs Velasquez fight.
i wonder if a.silva will get injured come fight week and chael ends up facing hendo, thats a match up id like to see
i would love to see rashad vs Dan Henderson or rashad vs shogun
Thank you, brother
how amazing was the fight?? i would love a full description i missed this fight
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night!... All Day!
i hope dana never retires, i can't imagine the UFC without him
(or Joe)
ariel is a very good interviewer, gd job
@TheMightySPLovesMe In the international markets, the UFC actually aired Henderson/Guida. Here in the UK, we saw that fight instead of the 30 minute hype promos.
@ikebanaJc, The Comic book guys Dana White was referring to was guys like Bobby Lashley and Dave Batista.
CRAZYY NIGHT OF FIGHTS!!!!!!!
Uncle chael is a fuckin genius!
@MFINN23 Shame you guys didn't get what we had in Australia, on free TV instead of the 30 min build we had the Guida - Benson fight and the Johnson fight after the title fight.
i cannot NOT watch a dana interview, i have to see em all lol
ariel is the best mma reporter, thanks for all the great interviews!
Your making MMA what it truly is
MMA is going mainstream, even more mainstream. But UFC is MMA. "Hey you watch UFC??"
I agree Dana is MMA... its great he is only around 42 so thats a good thing!
if they wanted a long fight then they should of put any George St Klitschko fight
chael sonnen is the best p4p trash talker in the history of this sport.
It is truly incredible all the hard work Dana has done in the past ten years to bring this sport and UFC brand to mainstream level. It was ignored and loathed by many. Today, it is accepted and beloved by most. And all the chancers are trying, repeat, TRYING, to jump on the bandwagon and cash in on all of Dana's hard work. Not on Zuffa's watch. It is a shame the amount of critical reception this man gets from clowns who wouldn't even know of the sport if Dana hadn't put it on the map.
what interview were they talking about at the end?
Dana White is the UFC , Dana is 100% responsible for the success of the UFC
Um where is the plaid shirt? Ariel you still better be rockin the Nikes at least.
@theprodigyPR He participated in an interview a few days ago called 'Off The Record' with Michael Landsburg and the interviewer kept asking Chael non sensical questions and Chael walked off and mocked him.
its going to be one hell of a fight!
Giant mistake not having the Henderson Guida fight on FoX.
What Chael interview???
@performancepoo It reminded me of it when Dana White told Ariel Helwani about everytime him and Joe Rogan would get into phone convos, it would take up about 2 hours.
yeah dana im glad you taking legal action against ny. you have play hard ball with this guys
ariel = #1 mma reporter hands down!
boxing is number 1
oh look, an interview with Dana up before Karyn could post one. That hasn't happened in a while.
@bkcpisme LOL this interview was online like two days ago. Ariel always posts his videos on mmafighting and then days later on youtube
I would love to see Dana on Joe Rogan's podcast if he hasn't done so already.
@JobyJonesJnr thanks man... i mean ..here is a person interviewing chael sonnen and asking him stuff that we havent seen other ppl ask... but what does he do..looks mad confused and leave... and the funniest part ever is him saying who cares if he loses lol goes to show how much he respects his career and the UFC cuz he said if he lost he'll leave the UFC ..i guess he fights for no reason other than trying to gain popularity...
Yes hidnsight is 20/20, but people were crying out for that fight to be on FoX given how it would be an outstanding fight and showcase for MMA. So it's not like people said it after it was fight of the night.
@UCSDkidd OMG thats why they seem too have so much chemistry good catch.
Ariel really needs 2 get a fresh edge up
UFC 139 is stacked, so many great matchups.....Hardcore fans certainly dont need extra buzz to watch the event.....And for the cry babies who dont seem to understand the whole Fox event, RELAX and enjoy the full events next year...There is approx 33 Events next year, and 12 are PPV so plenty of free events...Some of you act like you could run the UFC better....I think its about time you show them respect, they've earned it!!!!!!!!! MMA is where it is because of Dana period!!!!
@buthel47 he meant they were protesting ufc and mma in general
@MFINN23 Yeah but showing Cain watching tv with his wife and his dad picking lettuce was so uber exciting. Oh and who can forget Dos Santos walking around Brazil hugging people. Would you really have rather watched Henderson Vs Guida or Dos Santos at a family part eating food?
where was chael sonnen?
i
@buthel47 random people were protesting
@MagnusWyvern So True
@TheMightySPLovesMe 1 fight. 1 hour time slot....There is really no other way to do the broadcast...It wasn't that bad to sit through...I just don't know how people can say I "hated" the fox event.

Sorry not Anderson but his management! Anderson will fight anyone in his weight class, but it's a business that his management create and that is who was trying to squirm out
@stylezNout I think if i had that job, i would get used to get no sleep.
@superwhiteboy619 yea i agree they were outdated but there isnt a rule that says they cant ask
he didnt talk sbout chael sonnen
ariel is a savage
Dana white smokes ice.
Dana your #1.
Props to Ariel for asking the tough questions here. I wish he would have flat out been able to tell Dana that putting up just one fight was a stupid decision. It always amazes me how I've worked at companies where the big wigs turn out to be such morons who make the wrong decisions.
damn,i had no idea it was a bloody 7 year deal. thats an immense pile of spandoolix ol scout.
@MrJohndoe505 you can't have watched many mma cards then
@bricksmma When you are under stress, you are more vulnerable to be sick, because the inmune system is weak.
@AlcoholicSemenStain probably because he travels so much, meets so many people, and doesnt get much sleep, plus a shit ton of stress
@MagnusWyvern Damn right! That fight was pretty epic.
Everyone is always commenting about how hot Karyn Bryant is, but I gotta say. Ariel would fetch a high price in jail. Specially with great interviews like this one.
Keep it up
gr8 wrk ariel...as usual...
@TheDomy24 that's where u wrong sir, you're thinking about $ to me Dana is the best cause he's all about the fans ,he care about what we wanna see .....keep in mind I'm a huge boxing/pacquiao fan but bob assrum is all about his pockets..let me ask u this,when was the last time he put pacquiao vs a guy from another promotion??
the end of this video is f*cked up
fuck sakes ariel, everytime dana starts getting into one of his rants you change the subject on him...i don't care so much about your questions you have for him, just let dana talk, thats why we watch....
@piratebri I have my facts perfectly straight actually. I said it was a giant mistake not having the Henderson / Guida fight on Fox. I didn't say it was Dana's mistake, I just said it was a mistake. I know all the facts, perhaps you should put more effort into reading what people say.

@mjccmc82 That and shaking the hands of/ bro hugging hundreds of fans every event.
@Boomersays Im so glad you said that because this aint the first time he has done something like that....He deserves to get a stockstan slap
dont say p4p to sonnen coz he'll rip your heart straight out
@MagnusWyvern You, and the 66 ppl who thumbs up'd you don't have your facts straight. FOX told Dana they will do 1 fight on Fox. Not 2, not a whole card.

@mdavis1992 its not just about retiring, anyone can die any day.
@gqunit69 The fertittas do not want to unionize there culinary workers in their casinos.. so the culinary union is lobbying to not legalize MMA in NY
@roumanobr he's also very good and can back it up.
Michael Landberg made Sonnen look like a fool lol
i saw that interview wit chael & in canada, that guys questions was mostly stupid & outdated,
& dana please.........
THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER: SILVA VS SONNEN (AKA BRAZIL VS USA)!!!! PLEASE DANA MAKE IT HAPPEN
@astronautonomicron where do you get your weed from?
seems like ariels slackin n karyn is takin his place
what dana's 2nd says...dana's 2nd chin gets..
@mjccmc82 or that he shakes 200-500 people hands everyday
@MyDeArmAsTeR1 Ah good to know! Thanks.
@roumanobr he's managed to make everyone think he's good, just compare the records of anderson and chael and who they've actually fought
@warmaker911 chael isnt representing the us, obama is
chael is jus an mma fighter, most ppl outside mma probally dont even know his name
@mdavis1992 ikr!! Dana is the best owner that us as fans could ever wish for.
@crimescene08 - if you ask a stupid question - you get a stupid answer. The interviewer needs to do his homework!!! Completely agree how Chael reacted.
But I want Anderson to win the fight as i agree with the second thing you said that Chael thinks he's better than he is and also Anderson - I believe is the better figher. But will be a damn good fight!
@MFINN23 that was not part of the deal, just one show not the real deal
@Boomersays I've noticed he does too. Some fighters have called him on stirring shit up with fighters. I see what they mean now. He's not cool as I used to think
see people bash ariel because karen interviews all the "better people" aka irrelevant people to mma.. ariel has more interviews with lorenzo, dana, and the top fighters than karen and any other interviewer in the world!
@mweiss1982 LandSberg...missed the S
@MJHOOKEDONMMA I think Chael knocking himself out is a very unlkely outcome.
"Cung Le done well in MMA" because hes never been put up against a good wrestler. Cung's 7-1 against average mma fighters who are mostly strikers.
@Boomersays he is an instigator rampage and nick diaz called him out on this
rashad does not deserve a title fight yet, he should fight shogun first,
henderson vs bones jones would be 1 hell of a fight.
also sonnen is a prick, he should get 1 decent challenger b4 fighting silva again.
@roumanobr LOL DID YOU FORGET ABOUT TITO ORTIZ?
@tatertots00 wtf is ufc vs fox
@soulpiper No Shogun is 1-1 in his last two fights. W Griffin. L Hendo.
pretty crazy man..he's crazy i mean i think the guy is nutty as hell!..bahaha
