[ws767]

Dana's commenting funny:) at 3:05 fly in, do an event and get the fuck out! lol

nice guy dana.

[FlyingArmBarU]

Great idea Dana but I don't think you have the slightest fucking clue about the realities of Afghanistan, wouldn't be so cool losing 20 fighters because the chopper gets hit by a rocket.

[Trendnet18]

@FlyingArmBarU erm wwe does it every year why cant the UFC do it !?!?

[FlyingArmBarU]

@Trendnet18 Does that make it safer?

[OUWATZAHLE08]

AFGANISTAN HHHHHHHHHHHHH

[jollywolly55]

Stop acting like a action man Dana.

If Bush wasnt after fuel there would be no need to have ever gone.

[nimrod74741]

"Anything can happen if you want it bad enough"

Well said Dana, well said....

[sparrowspointjockin]

Arabs Are gonna plan suicide bombing and steal many virgins Aka Arianny celeste

[TeMpOuK1]

[SuperSniper0321]

[mrkurd]

lol some afgany kids looking at this now good luck ufc hahhaha

[mrkurd]

Afghanistan boomb bye bye ufc

[Kliffdiver]

YEAH! DO IT FOR THE TROOPS DANA!

[nycboyforlife]

Dana did not destroy Pride. Pride was destroyed by the Japanese media reporting their Yakuza connections, as if people in Japan didn't know the yakuza controls sports in Japan. Rampage vs Liddell was one fight. Pride also made the agreement when they soldout to the UFC about the UFC continuing Pride in Japan but they pulled a typical Japanese con and UFC has not been granted the rights to fight in Japan. Japan is the land of the scam.

[KmanMonkeyPig]

Dana knows how important Afghanistan is to get enough opium to the states...

Now that is something to send the boys to fight for... Right?

[crisinflames]

Go Dana, bring the show to the Troops! They deserve it!! It will be AWESOME!!

[rockinwithmelo]

the ufc will go to afganistan when before obama brings the troops back...in other words it isnt happening

[11osprey11]

THE MARINES LOVE YOU DANA.

[chrishickie]

man i love dana white! i'm not a huge UFC fan ....i respect the fighters and what they do and love to watch it but i'm not a diehard like some people. With that said, i think Dana White is a marketing/PR genius! if you look at what he has done with this sport in the last 10 years it is stunning. The guy is a better/classier version of Don King who was the promoter of all the huge boxing matches back in the day. Dana White is legit and he has a passion for the sport and its advancement!

[underdogs247]

@vincent8er "Google" Dana and Japan, you'll find an mma junkie interview about Dana bringing the UFC to Japan. He goes on to say and I quote "If I don't get killed over in Japan, I'll be [expletive] amazed when I go ever there. I'll be amazed." Lets just say the way the Pride Fc purchase was done, didnt make him any Japanese friends

[tornapart7729]

i wonder if they'll make the ring girls cover up????

[mw2clanking]

@fucktard ya im sure they will

[rchi0204]

@tornapart7729 why would they make the ring girls cover up.. we have cheerleaders do shows for us down range all the time.

[tornapart7729]

@rchi0204 it was clearly a joke......

[Warpath2198]

@under

Bleh, I lived in Japan for 5 years. Those people are a bunch of wusses.

[underdogs247]

@Warpath2198 No disrespect but I don't think you were hanging with the same people who want Dana dead.

[underdogs247]

Dana is safer in Afghanistan than he is in Japan. For those who know mma know exactly why.

[Esotrepid]

@underdogs247 Hey man, Dana White has alot of pride. He prides himself on managing great fighters. He takes pride in being the president of the UFC. I'm sure Dana has alot of pride, and thats why he acts the way he does. It's all about pride dude, pride pride pride pride pride.

[LolEpicFailGuy]

@underdogs247

Why exactly? 

[underdogs247]

@LolEpicFailGuy Remember this is the guy who killed Pride Fc. Who laid off all their employees when he said he was going to keep Pride Fc going. Who claimed the mafia was running Pride Fc and thats why he couldn't keep it going. Dana has clamied thats why he can't get more Japanese fighters to the UFC. He also said the UFC was going to do an event in Japan, has that happened or even been mentioned lately?

[LolEpicFailGuy]

@underdogs247

So wait, Zuffa purchased Pride at one point?

[underdogs247]

@LolEpicFailGuy I hope your using your best sarcasm on me lol. But yeah, how do you think the UFC got the guys they did? He knew Pride had a better roster than the UFC and that they'd always be #2 to Pride

[LolEpicFailGuy]

@underdogs247

Makes sense.

[Kliffdiver]

@underdogs247

This statement is complete bias BS. Typical "PRIDE WAS BEST" Fan. Pride did well in Japan, and the UFC did well in the states. Each had their own stars, and don't even talk about that UFC 71 crap. Everyone knew Chuck had been besting grapplers for his entire title reign. Better roster? ugh yeah...

[underdogs247]

@Kliffdiver What are you talking about? Dana brought Chuck over there to prove the superiority of the UFC and what happened? UFC 71/Final Conflict 2003 showed that Chuck hadn't been fighting the best in the world. Better roster ugh yeah...Pride Fc buddy. It's undeniable even for someone like you who only watches the UFC. Silva, Hendo, Vitor, Nogs, Fedor, Aoki, Ubereem, Rampage, Shogun, Mousasi, Gomi, Cro Cop, Yvel, and Gono. Who you got?

[Kliffdiver]

@underdogs247

*EHHH* Wrong Chuck was supposed to fight Wanderlei in a superfight in pride. Sorry didn't Chuck beat the great Overeem? Jackson was a bad matchup for him from the start anyways. Some of the guys you mentioned started out in the UFC.

[underdogs247]

@Kliffdiver No it was supposed to be Liddell vs. Silva in the 03 GP finals, but Chucky couldn't even make it there. Dana put 250K on Liddell winning the grand prix but retracted it after Rampage beat Chuck so bad his corner threw in the towel.

[Kliffdiver]

@underdogs247

Roster? Well... Jens Pulver, Ken Shamrock, Frank Shamrock, Pat Miletich, Royce Gracie, Randy Couture, Mark Coleman, Don Frye, Dan Savern, Tito Ortiz, Chuck Lidell, Evan Tanner, Matt Hughes, Sean Sherk, Frank Mir, Tim Sylvia, Andrei Arlovski, Rich Franklin, and many more.

[underdogs247]

@Kliffdiver Pulver, Shamrock, Royce, Coleman, Frye, Liddell, and Sherk all fought in Pride. Name guys who never fought in Pride ever and I'll match them with someone better from Pride. 

[Kliffdiver]

@underdogs247

If you insist.... Diego Sanchez, Forrest Griffin, Stephen Bonnar, Kenny Florian, Joe Stevenson, Rashad Evans,Nick Diaz, Nate Diaz, BJ Penn, Georges St. Pierre, Lyoto Machida, Ryan Bader, Jon Jones, etc.

[underdogs247]

@Kliffdiver Lmao I know you didn't just say Forrest, Bonnar, Nate Diaz, Jon Jones, and Bader lol. Half of those guys are unproven and the other half aren't even worth mentioning. Ok how about Aoki, Melendez, Mach, Mousasi, Ubereem, and theres this guy you may of heard of his name is Fedor Emelianenko and etc

[Kliffdiver]

@underdogs247

You remind me of a bitter old man talking about yesteryear. Unproven? By your standards probably. Fedor this, Cro Cop that, Nog's OMG. It gets tiring after awhile... Better is nothing more than opinion. All opinions are bias. So who the F*** cares? Enjoy the fights...

[underdogs247]

@Kliffdiver Get off Dana's nutsack and start watching MMA not just the UFC

[Kliffdiver]

@underdogs247

Wow way to show maturity. I also like Dream, Bellator, Strike Force, and a lot of other small shows. Read the last three sentences of my last reply again. END/

[joshmike1487]

@underdogs247 i would like to know why

[underdogs247]

@joshmike1487 I guess you haven't been following the sport very long.

[louis1152]

@joshmike1487 because he caused the end of PRIDE fc

[joshuafeeney]

@louis1152 Business is business

[standalone313]

@underdogs247 lol ur so right

[emppupelikone]

@underdogs247 good point :D

[GANGSTAELPASO]

@underdogs247 for those who dont know he destroyed pride by taking all their big fighters lol

[underdogs247]

@GANGSTAELPASO I love watching Rampage vs. Liddell 1, Dana is doing guest commentary and he so frustrated watching the beating Rampage was giving his golden boy. He talks about being competitive and all this shit when it comes to Strikeforce and Elite Xc, but he knew Pride Fc was always going to be better than the UFC

[666pat666]

@underdogs247 no i dunno can u please tell me lol

[Lifter85]

@underdogs247 ...b/c the japs have small wee-wees?

[DixonNation]

@underdogs247 y?

[Lyingaboutmyage]

@underdogs247

Because Pride fanboys can't let shit go?

[underdogs247]

@Lyingaboutmyage I'd expect that from a 10er. In Japan theres no mma promo without the Yakuza. UFC killed Pride, which was run in conjunction with the Yakuza. If your following whats happening with FEG then you'd know, but 10ers gonna 10.

[BerimbauSenzala]

@underdogs247 or russia

[underdogs247]

@BerimbauSenzala True 

[caillet14]

@underdogs247 Leave it to a youtube troll like you to try and degradate something for the troops...

[underdogs247]

@caillet14 Yeah....how's that event coming? 

[highguy2k10]

@underdogs247 hahah your awsome

[derbigpr500]

What is they decide to attack you during event?

[goodbadugly16]

There are bases in the area that do not necessarily see as much action compared to others which are stationed right near settlements that the Taliban has influence over.

My guess is the UFC uses really lower level fighters and it will be televised.

[halosamuri]

awsome.

[secret212000]

A UFC event in Afghanistan is the only time you will ever see insurgents lay down their arms and purchase a ticket instead.

there will be peace that day

[hmoob7]

LMFAO

"right in the middle of all the shit."

[stu03ufc]

thephenom86 takes 9 inch black dick in his ass every night

[stu03ufc]

thephenom86 IS A FUCKING BITCH

[crazyjake29]

sounds a little crazy that. i hope they can get it to work

[stu03ufc]

this idea is retarded and a waste of money

[pdf733]

Love the Sherdog credential comment Dana ... priceless. Guees Discover card is wrong, It doesn't pay to Discover. --- It pays to stay on Dana White's good graces.

[Bruteshot]

lol at dana white taking a page out of vinces book.

[SimonNicolHD]

it's not that dumb people WWE does it every year so why would it be dumb for the UFC to do it ... ?

[bonghit306]

the best time to bomb that base would be during the ufc if they really wanted to fuck with the americans

[RoyNelsonBeatFedor]

Sounds like a dumb idea.

[bkakaak47]

why doesnt the military finish there work in that country before they start throwing parties, its pretty stupid

[Frogger0neXx]

@bkakaak47" They don't know when their work there would be finish. ITs not up to them. And fighting in a war Im sure is pretty draining. The troops deserve to have an event to higher their morale state, don't you think? Its easy for you to sit here and demand this and that, but to me thats very ignorant, selfish, and self-absorbed. Remember theyre the ones dying over there, not you.

[bkakaak47]

@Frogger0neXx i know but they have a bigger responsibilty than to watch the ufc dont you think, the have been there for 9 years man, will they ever pull out

[SuperJoeDirty]

@bkakaak47 ur a dick bro

[bkakaak47]

@SuperJoeDirty calm down bro, relax

[bkakaak47]

@SuperJoeDirty good day

[SuperJoeDirty]

@bkakaak47 good night

[thephenom86]

@bkakaak47 i hate all those firms (like UFC) getting involved with politics.

1st they let a muslim country get 10% of their firm, then they support the US against another muslim country. go figure?

[silkyjohnson123]

@thephenom86 its not supporting the war itself, its about giving the soldiers themselves entertainment, its not like they're saying "we're having this event because we want this war to keep going on!" you know what i mean?, and the people who got 10% of the firm aren't radical muslim extremists or anything, you can't not do business with somebody because they're muslim. not all muslims are terrorists.

[thephenom86]

@silkyjohnson123 i think the purpose is more "support" rather then entertainment/

for entertainment purposes there is TV

[stu03ufc]

lol send sherdog over - lorretta cunt and the other faggots of the sherodg writing staff

[thephenom86]

@stu03ufc what do you mean "send sherdog over"? by loretta you making fun of lorenzo fertitta??

[stu03ufc]

@thephenom86 Lorretta Hunt not Lorenzo ferritta. lorretta hunt is the sherdog reporter dana white called a "faggot" and got in trouble for it

[thephenom86]

@stu03ufc are you retarded how can loretta hunt be a faggot shes a woman

he was calling her source a faggot

[stu03ufc]

@thephenom86 Thanks for correcting me you were right he called her a moron. you are now lord of the internets with ur knowlegdge on quoting ppl word by word. may everyone bow down to you. FUCKING FAGGOT kill urself bitch

[thephenom86]

@stu03ufc its less me being lord of the internets then you being as dumb as a fucking fly. apparently you remember word by word better then me, and still somehow was retarded enough to confused between a man and a woman. buzz off

[stu03ufc]

@thephenom86 u angry bro? lol u mad son....get a fucking life

[thephenom86]

@stu03ufc see u posted and u replied to yourself. no reply from me is necessary

[stu03ufc]

@thephenom86 cool story bro - go find some else u an ewar over small shit.

[stu03ufc]

@thephenom86 u have nothing better to do in ur life than troll youtube comments - faggot

[stu03ufc]

@thephenom86 good now fuck off ur not worth my time arguing over the use of faggot - u dick face

[thephenom86]

@stu03ufc now you also pointed out that youre an internet whore. good job. may you enjoy sucking everyones dick

[silkyjohnson123]

@thephenom86 support in the form of entertainment. they will love having a live fight just for them and its great that Dana is doing it.

[thephenom86]

@silkyjohnson123 but the underline is under support. i dont think they need to support someone in a war like that, but providing entertainment to them in form of tv is more reasonable

[silkyjohnson123]

@bkakaak47 the reason they are doing it is because its supposed to entertain the troops while they are there, whats the point of putting a show on for the troops after the war is over if they could just go to a live event here in the U.S. i don't know if what i'm trying to say makes sense but do you get what i mean?
