Episode two of UFC President Dana White's video blogs for the UFC 142: "Aldo vs. Mendes" pay-per-view event kicks off with the bossman hopping on a plane to get himself to Brazil for the big event.
Some behind the scenes production fun leads us to the big moment when White tells Vitor Belfort that Anthony Johnson won't be making weight for their fight. A clearly drained and discombobulated "Phenom" chomps on ice while mulling his options.
He's told by White that he doesn't have to make 185-pounds but if he doesn't, he won't get 20-percent of Johnson's purse.
After consulting with Belfort's team, the decision is made to remain professional and do what he was contracted to do, which is make the middleweight limit. Later on, that's exactly what he does, coming in at 186-pounds.
We also see Johnson attempt to explain to White what happened but that's for another time. He was told, along with Vitor's team, that he had to come in under 205-pounds today to proceed with the fight, and he was able to do so.
The blog ends with Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones picking "Rumble" to win but making clear that he doesn't respect the way he failed to make weight for the bout. Essentially, he voiced what many MMA fans are currently thinking and feeling.
Nonetheless, fight time is near, Maniacs. Time to get busy inside the cage and ignore all this weight nonsense. Ready?

Apparently he injured or reinjured his knee in practice,
and that was his first excuse.
But now, it’s because he was dehydrated.

I guess.
I personally don’t know.
I mean both situations make sense and could explain why he missed weight, but both situations didn’t happen.
Only one, or none, of them could have happened.

dana didnt hesitate he just told him straight up
but fuck think about it belfort went to all that work to cut weight
Dana should have waited to hear AJ's reason for missing weight before releasing that statement trashing him...
Uncle Dana loves him some Vitor though
You expect too much of him, I'm afraid.
Why should he? Since when he has(d) to do any damage control, like ever. He’s DW after all.
brazilian time so its normal here.

that must suck for the fans in attendance.
hopefully they brought their pillows incase Mendes gets a takedown.
"You never know. I don't know. You know?" -Nick Diaz
Agreed...
I think Jose is going to come out looking to kill a muthafucka…
But if Mendes shows composure and doesn’t let the crowd get to him, he may take it the decision…shoooot, he may put it all on the line like Michael Chandler and finish Aldo…
Doubt it though
trt my friend!
"ever heard of a tune up? tee hee hee hee
"ah hee hee hee ever heard of a ritual killing? tee hee hee hee"
"i dont get it"
"you gnaw on her face in public like that again and you'll be one tee hee hee hee"
Jacked? As in buff?
And Vitor was chewing the towel of ice so it cools him down without hydrating himself
Jon jones is annoying

agreed what a prize prick!
"ever heard of a tune up? tee hee hee hee
"ah hee hee hee ever heard of a ritual killing? tee hee hee hee"
"i dont get it"
"you gnaw on her face in public like that again and you'll be one tee hee hee hee"
sometimes its bullshit, but this is when i like these vlogs of Dana's..
You get that insider feel & Here you can see that Vitor is really pissed off.. the fact that he didn’t even try to shake his hand makes it clear. And I’ll be damned if Aldo’s hands shaking made it look like he was ready to lay into Mendes right then & there. And JDS cracks me the fuck up! He was more hyped up than his fighter! He looks like an OG that gets happy seeing young’uns putting in work! Good shit..

But they do show some gems from time to time…like I just saw Guida Vs Bendo for the very 1st time…and fucking wow!

"these days" who you kidding? only yourself
more like each and everyday …“just go to the bar” ……..waiting for bj penns mom to orchastrate an intervention
This was awesome
You could tell AJ not coming in on weight irritated Vitor. Now here’s hoping Vitor brings the rage.
i refuse to ignore that.

Spell check?
What kind of word is girlfrien? That doesn’t look like a product of spell check.

Haha thats fantastic
Genuinely laughed at that, truly ridiculous end sentance
Sakuraba beats Silva, Aoki would beat Miller and Vitor Belfort didn't deserve his title shot - In my opinion, the craziest points I've read on this site...
I will not make any excuses for Anthony Johnson anymore
But I will still root for him!
P.S Dana White loves him some Vitor
Pride...come in here and eat pipe...
Lorenzo said himself that AJ was 1.5lbs off…he wasn’t 190lbs you punk!
Yeah which makes no sense because Vitor will be just as heavy
Besides…cutting a lot of weight doesn’t mean all that weight goes back on…that’s not how it works
Yeah, I think victor finishes him with those piston punches

And that's why you never match up a guy with a super glass jaw against a guy who can break stone with his hands.
P4P TOP 5 1. Nick Diaz 2. Nate Diaz 3. Fedor 4. Overeem 5. Junie Browning … Also Nate AND Nick will both be champions of thier respective brackets. Dont Fuck With Mean Mug he will make you slob all over your most hated fighters knob 209 BITCHES!!!!!!

vitor wasnt thinling straight in his deyydrated state and his reality show chef didnt step up for him what a shame
vitor should have said ya ill make weight like the professional that I am and get 20 % of the purse …………brock lesnars purse
Jones says Aldo is one of his favorite fighters
That being the case, I would think he would know that Jose pronounces his name with a J sound, and not H.
We are not going to change the way the name sounds because one guy wants it that way.
Sorry Aldo.
by Armando Baez on Jan 14, 2012 6:38 PM EST up reply actions
You can take that position
But I would think that if the guy is one of his favorite fighters, as Jones claims, then he would at least have enough respect to say Aldo’s name the way Jose himself does.
by The real Philo on Jan 14, 2012 6:46 PM EST up reply actions
I hope so too
I just don’t know what Belfort is bringing. He was the Phenom early on in his career, but I’ve not seen the same level of performance from him in a really long time.

Piston Fist Belfort
via KO. My tapology picks are looking ok so far.
