Gary Busey

Yesterday we referred you to the first edition in Dana White's UFC 87 video blog (a vlog, if you will). If you missed it, allow me to sum up: he sat around in his office for two minutes talking about how excited he was for UFC 87. Yeah, not exactly "Citizen Kane". The second edition is above, and while it's an improvement in the sense that he actually does stuff, it's still incredibly boring. Sure, he flies around in an awesome private jet, but didn't we already know or at least assume he did that? Where are the escorts and live animals that I always imagined were on that plane with him? Where's the magic?

It would be fine if I really believed that Dana White's life were this uninteresting, but I don't. I'm sure there are plenty of great moments throughout each day that involve him yelling into a cell phone and threatening to crush people, then actually crushing those people, then auditioning new Octagon girls without the intention of hiring any, then having some lunch.

But we don't get any of that. We get him standing in a hotel room and talking us through his daily schedule, which is always going to be boring unless you're someone like Gary Busey and your schedule involves you being batshit crazy all day.

I really hope this thing picks up a little momentum as we get closer to the event, because this sounds like a great idea. But right now it just looks like someone convinced him to give up two minutes of every day in non-consecutive stretches, and the result is a tired, cranky Dana White and a bored audience. Maybe time for a special guest star in the next episode? My money's on GSP.

PunchDrunkGamer.com has a new interview with Cung Le in which the undefeated Strikeforce star reveals that his fight with middleweight champion Frank Shamrock is slated for March 29th, and that the UFC has approached him to fight in the Octagon — but hasn't made an offer juicy enough to lure him away from his current home.

More notably, Le is positioning himself to be the next martial arts action movie star. As he discusses in the interview, he was recently cast in the film version of the video game series Tekken, and just finished shooting a starring role in a movie called Blizhniy Boy: The Ultimate Fighter with David Carradine, Gary Busey and BOLO FUCKING LEUNG. Yes, that might be the best assembled cast in action movie history, but unfortunately, the film itself looks kinda cheesy. Check out the trailer:

Right, so it's a low budget flick with a name that no American would be able to pronounce. But Le is realistic about the experience: "I don't mind starting with smaller production movies. It will help me later on in my career having the guidance of the veteran actors on the shoots." And how did Le land the role? Well, funny story:
