UFC 99 Fight Day Danavlog, Parts 1+2

After a three-day delay, the UFC 99 fight-day installment of the Dana White Video Blog was finally uploaded to youtube.com/ufc, and the massive two-parter feels like any other classic double-album — sure, it would have been "better" if it were edited down to a single video, but then you wouldn’t get the scope of the Danavlog’s ambition. In the first, more boring half (shown above), Dana roams the streets of Cologne, taking a lot of pictures with fans and getting a taste of the Germans’ particular brand of crazy. (See: short-shorts guy at 0:04, crazy dog man at 1:10-1:28, and blue afro lady at 4:57.) He also spends time explaining how this whole UFC thing works to curious German camera crews, winding his way through an endless receiving line at the arena, and congratulating Stefan Struve, who’s still sore about that Dos Santos fight. Anyway, you don’t need to watch it unless you’re a Danavlog completist, but the backstage action picks up in part two…


Below: Dana accurately predicts the German media coverage following the show, Justin Buchholz begs for another chance, Mirko Cro Cop and his crew smile in Dana’s face knowing they’re about to fuck him over, Mark DellaGrotte hypes up Marcus Davis ("this kid wants to fuckin’ rob yaw kids of a betta life, he wants fuckin’ food off yaw table"), and we get a different angle of the Mike Swick over-the-cage celebration.
