Video: Dana White's UFC 94 Video Blog Polls Fighters on GSP-Penn
Dana White’s first video blogging effort for UFC 94 seems intent on answering the question: who do pro fighters favor in this weekend’s B.J. Penn-Georges St. Pierre clash? Fairly consistently, it seems like they think Penn has it wrapped up. Some of that might be because Penn has kicked their ass or GSP has kicked the ass of their teammate, depending on who you’re asking.
The other highlight near the end of the video is the appearance of Norifumi “Kid” Yamamoto, who is asked by Dana, “You ready to come fight here?” By here, he means the WEC, where this bad boy is being filmed. Yamamoto is hindered slightly by a language barrier, but he replies clearly, “Yeah, I want.” Hey, sounds like a binding verbal contract to us.

Neal Taflinger Says:
Wait, is D-Dub paying Mike Vallely to be a skateboard tutor?
Wildcard Says:
Neal Yeah he is but Mike Vallely is a better fighter that Jens Pulver now man do i feel bad for him, damn he sucks.

Biggster Says:
Kid Yama > BJ Penn (even though Kid's lighter, LOL)
dude guy Says:
dana white busting out with the mid-interview editing.. nice
boober Says:

johnnysep Says:
is it me or does it look like Dana White and Robbie Lawler ordered a couple of tiny asian boys get delivered to the vip lounge and then tried covering it up by asking for predictions???
Tiu nia ma chow hai Says:
Johnny that fuckin made me laugh man
nippletwist Says:
im so pumped for yamamoto in WEC, even though its not definitive at all. hes definitely still in my top 5 favorite fighters.
eat my buns Says:
HAH! i made this prediction! can't wait til kid yamamoto fight faber or brown
fedor a million ankles Says:
Mike Brown is the only one of them with any sense. GSP already reckoned with BJ's force and he kicked his ass. He's just going to kick it worse this time.
MMANewbExpert Says:
OMG. Did you hear Dana White stumble over his words at the 1:03 mark?!?!?! He's the worst video blogger in the history of the world and a huge tool to boot!!!
(please sense my sarcasm and get my point that people who are not professional speakers for a living (and many who are), tend to stumble over words and that doesn't make them an idiot or "the worst commentator of all time")
Acrocerid Says:
Oh look, Tito is calling himself MMANewbExpert. That's because he has too big of an ego to properly disguise himself as simply MMANewb...has to fit that 'Expert' in somewhere. Tito...you suck...deal with it.
B Says:
I will shit katanas if Yamamoto comes to the WEC.
Anonymous Says:
when dana is talking to duane ludwig, he cant stop staring at Bang's teen-stash
Tyler Says:
Jens Pulver is an absolute moron.
Tyler Says:
Oh and I forgot to add not as big a moron as "Acrocerid" however.
Anonymous Says:
Why doesn't GSP get the respect he deserves? To act as if BJ is going to walk through him just shows some peoples stupidity..
Anonymous Says:
Acrocerid YOU suck!! and u kno damn well u wouldnt say that shit to titos face.. CP get off danas nutts!! go cut and copy a story from mmaweekly or sumthin i think thats what u do anyways expt when your hatin on tito or any other mma org besides the ufc.. u guys need sum writers, i think yall are the only ones that post this dana volg shit
Canadian hoser Says:
Here's a poll dana ask what they thought about fedor crushing yet another UFC champ in the first round. Arlovski could have fought for another 5 years in the ufc to get paid the same amount that he was paid to get killed by fedor. Use some "casino money" or go into the red a bit to but on better shows Mr. White

I was really shocked to see almost total penn support, which is in contrast to the boards here where majority seem to be gsp supporters.
player from the south Says:
im surprised all the fighters picked Penn. maybe they just wanna see some one who is better than them go down . i dont know ... gsp k.o. penn in 1st round

BJ doesn't have achanse, George is goin to destroy him.Greedy bastard should be staying in his own weight classor at least committing to one. Oh well next week he will be back to 155 only again. Then Kenny can kick his sore ego ass. Watch him cry like a baby and make excuses on Saturday night when he looses.
poopiestick Says:
How many bro hugs do you think Dana gives a day?
Anonymous Says:
Ha, did I see Wildman hanging out with Jens?
Anonymous Says:

me thinks Mike Brown has it the closest
I Jap Knees I Dun Speeke Engrush Says:
Dana's such a poser. Dana's no nigger. He needs to stop being all "bro" and shit. Man, he's like 43 years old too. Dana, stop being such a chump.
Sheps Says:
Dana is such a douchebag, these guys are all trying to get ready for their fights they have been training for, for months and then that bald headed douchebag comes in and asks them a dumb ass question about one of his own promotions. That guy is so up his own ass its unbeliveable.
BTW do the UFC own the WEC now or some shit? They seem to refrence them alot lately.
I Jap Knees I Dun Speeke Engrush Says:
Yes, UFC owns WEC.
oo718oo Says:
doesnt it ound like hes saying Carl Uno?
I Jap Knees I Dun Speeke Engrush Says:
"doesnt it ound like hes saying Carl Uno?"
That's because Dana's a white American moron. He's an insult to all Japanese people and their names.

Kid Yamamoto speaks English, he went to high school in Arizona.
Acrocerid Says:
Tyler, if I insulted Tito as a fighter, you could call me a moron and maybe be somewhat justified. But it's a simple fact that Ortiz is a horrible commentator. Even the live audience booed his sorry ass repeatedly.
armfarmer Says:
I haven't made it to the 2nd minute mark and so far..
:58 "Mike V comin to the fights, he doesn't know who he likes st. pierrerbeareruhuhuhhuh he doesn't know gsp or penn"
1:23- "were gonna get some predictions and see who these guys like.. gsp or st pierre"
Dana White and Tito Ortiz are putting their differences aside to team up in a war against the english language.
lilpo0ts Says:
bj never made excuses, he just shuts up when he loses and to be honest, gsp only won with that ol' lay and pray that everyone bitches about. he did no dmg to penn in that fight. bj has better hands easily. EASILY if you cant see that somethings wrong. gsp is a good fighter and all but bj is definately world class. as for cycling steroids and what not, i think bj is just trying to piss off other fighters..he didnt hate sherk or evil. you guys feed into the dumbest shit..."bj sucks..i hope he gets destroyed" with the current mess i just hope its a good fight and not an eye poke, illegal knee or some shit like that. and the reason gsp isnt talking shit is because of the language barrier..he knows how stupid he sounds speaking english. if he can get worked up and go into matt hughes winning speech, and say " um nawt im prezz by yer peh for manz" you do talk shit.. i dont hate gsp i hate his accent, and those lil shorts, and that gold chain..that damn gold chain..what is the the fucking 80's.
agentsmith Says:
LOL @ Dana saying "homie" to Mike Vallely.
Also, WTF is up with the site today? It's like my interwebs went back to 1995 format or something.

all you dumbasses dont know what you guys are talking about... obviously all the fighters is picking penn for a REASON... they know their shit and you dont.. you guys are just sideline spectators that cant even armbar even if you try.... GSP- great athlete, BJ PENN- hungry, talented and world class fighter.. to be honest, GSP is nervous about this fight. BJ PENN is on a hunt and he is going to knock GSP out 2nd round
