Cool video, thanks for sharing.

merry Christmas and happy new year dana. WAR DANA!

I see you guys are using a Canon 5D Mark II. If you need help on working that thing better, it me up. I'd be glad to give you some tips since I shoot with it a lot. -Cory "Mr. Safety"

I think the old clips are cool and they went perfect with a blog that most people had a clue what you were talking about.Most of these noobs never heard of John Lewis or played those first UFC games.Good vid guys!

dos santos vs Gilbert Yvel is gonna be awsome...big expectations for this!!

Hi #UN#, big fan of your vids here :)

I love the Fight Nights..those dudes always throw down

Thats going to be a good fight.Card still looks good even after all the fighters getting hurt.Cant wait to see"bang" back in the UFC!!!!!!!

dana should make the ufc blogs on dvd i would buy it

once all the champs get healthy it'll be fine ufc 110 to 115 look pretty stacked.

excited to see Yvel in the UFC hope he does well in the HW division....

lol i love they tossed that john lewis video in there

Im excited for this fight it will for sure be something to watch. I think dos santos will keep it standing so it will be fun to watch him and gilbert go at it.

Can't wait to see Yvel in the Octagon! Easily one of my favourite fighters.

wow that was awesome

i wish i was in UFC. Good Luck Rashad!!!

hold thumbs for Rashad!!!!!Merry christmas Dana..

Andre Pederineras is the same guys who help BJ Penn with his ground game after he left Ralph Gracie. So gilberts ground is definitely getting better.

that was a slick leg sweep

Its crazy how excited he is getting fighters like this?! Could you imagine the advertising etc if they ever got the greatest fighter in the world.......... Fedor.

Even though newer fans to MMA might not know him, Gilbert's striking is really among the top of current crop of UFC heavyweights. This fight is going to be entertaining if they both come out to make a statement...however, I would not stand and trade with Gilbert if I were JDS.

Ashi Guruma, or leg wheel, and it's a judo throw. Similar to Hane Goshi, hip throw.

The Yvel/dos Santos fight should be great. I think dos Santos will win though, and he could be the next big thing. He is an awesome striker.

cuz they just uploaded it , give it some time and it will be in HD

Nice take down.

gilbert is tough as hell, he impressed me when he took a beating from barnett and still fighting back from the bottom. but JDS is like the best up-in-comer in the HW but still should be fun to watch. oh and tell the refs to be careful cause they might get knocked out lol!

John looks younger than Dana. :P Cool of Sana to make them show his only win in the UFC against Anderson.

ohhh... ya that'll do it alright! thx for reply

Sweet!

2 months apart?! What kind of mma fan are you. The more mma the better. Keep em coming Dana. I think this card is going to be a sleeper hit.

So is it weird to anyone else that Dana White is Video Blogging from the future!

Fair points but lets try and remember its just about two guys getting into a a ring, octagon, triangle whatever ... the promotions are a platform and the styles are just that styles ... sure the complete MMA practitioner these days needs a total well rounded game but not everybody has and thats ok by me, fighters still need the navigate away from Kongos clinch for example, Its mixed martial arts not a wrestling and kickboxing championship, Regardless personally i just happy to see two guys

The best striker hands down in mma.

What took you so long ?

nice comment dude amen to it

Damn, John looks like an Actio hero at 22!!

yes

Haha, dude I totally agree with you. Some people think Dana White is a bad person, but I actually like the guy.

I want to see him and Lesnar go at it After Carwin and Lesnar. Dana your the best.

its funny that the guy holding pads for yvel is wearing minorauro shorts since minotauro is teammates with dos santos, who yvel is fighting

yvel won 8 of his last 10 fights so he is on a nice run

WHOOHOE!!! i train with gilbert ivel :P here in the netherlands off course a great guy really! probably doesn't remember me though :P

who's hawai'i flag is that hanging in the background?

who does the recording for dana?

Nice fight john lewis !

lmao @ dana when he sees gilbert training haha

when gilbert was usin the dummy dana is like holy shit lmao

He has real nice movement

whys the video quality sooo bad? cmon ufc sort it out.

Dos Santos may need to break out his ground game al little just to play it safe. Yvel is a brutal striker.

its gonna be a crazy fight. hopefully yvel will fight dos santos instead of the ref this time lol

I dont and never have watched Pride, I give any fighter that gets in a cage with another man to fight full credit and respect. Ive watched the UFC for about 4-5 years, I love it but still ive not heard of this guy, Like I said if he proves me wrong then he deserves it, even if he puts up a good fight and looses he will deserve credit. Somehow I just have this feeling he will loose badly. Oh by the way any1 can KO any1 if they get hit in the right place. Who else has he beat/KO ???

I hope Gilbert can keep his head in the game and his emotions under control. He's a great fighter but he has been his own worst enemy throughout his career.

the date is 12/8/09 how is that possible??

oh damn lookin forward to see gilbert yvel gunna have to remember dat name lol

You saw 2 minutes of his entire work out and have no idea how long he'd been going for.

old school john lewis!! that's awesome john is a great guy! but him getting k.o. by jens pulver was brutal!

Since Dana is interested in this guy I hope he has changed a whole lot

@ Masterwak1: why is Gilbert Yvel bad for the sport? (serious question, not a contradiction)

holy shit!!

thats hilarious seeing as there was no strikeforce ppv lol

How tall is who? Gilbert Yvel is 6'2, I don't know Danas height.

If Tapout ever wanted to sponsor a fighter who is actually "Bad For The Sport" its Gilbert Yvel.

nah i believe josh barnett beat him up pretty badly on the affliction card in jan of this year, it should be around somewhere

I miss you Pride FC

@masoncat1 mir knocked kongo down, his eyes wasn't rolling to the back of his head or nothing.. so yvel being the only one knocking out kongo is just as impressive as it was before

yea I havent ordered a ufc in awhile because I would be broke if I ordered every one! Please consider the majority of people out there that love MMA but cant afford to order a ppv every 2 weeks! And the free events are gonna take MMA to the masses full blown!

I like how some of these people who don't even know gilbert say he is scum. Have you ever talked to the guy or even trained with him. Ask anybody around in the mma community who knows or trained with him and they will all tell you he is a great guy and an amazing striker. Watch his last fight against rizzo, also he has been working hard on trying to improve his ground game since he moved to Las vegas to train with long time friend John Lewis. Everyone forgets that John Lewis and

Dos Santos is a beast, i don't see him losing there. not a great blog there guys, bit lazy to use so many old clips. keep it on real time.

whats wrong with the camera

i predict evans/machida 2 rampage/shogun 2 in dec.

gilbert yvel loooks nuts =)

the fight they show at the end, it couldve been a double team against McCarthy he looks huge there! hahahahahaha

Gilbert has won 36 fights. 31 coming from knockout the other 5 from submission.

Gilbert by knees from the clinch.

I was about as excited as Dana's was for Gilbert...I thought the fight would have been alot different :-(

Ha... talkin about the old UFC videogame... good times

I think Gilbert Yvel don't need 2 b up in there unless he's worked on controllin his attitude, but then again, I'vent heard from him in a while.

@DJPalace88 I hope you're excluding most of the Heavyweight division in boxing. Most of them are on the George Foreman cheeseburger diet. I think the athletecism in the two sports are actually comparable for the most part.

I didn't say it was. I said he almost knocked him out. To those of you saying he wasn't close... he got knocked down. How much closer is there?

Did Dan Henderson beat this guy?

so who's representing the 808 state 3:00 (hawaii flag)

dana white is the former of ufc?

Little Gilbert is taking Dos Santos out.

Saying he is the only guy to knock out Congo isn't as impressive as it once was. Mir ~almost~ knocked him out in under a minute.

311 nviews 208 comments ?!?!?!

lol dana same jeans as me :D

i'd love to put that to the test

What are you talking about, Dan Henderson wanted more money than what Dana had offered him. He was offering Dan fights for a long time, then he signed with Strikeforce. Dana wanted to keep him in the UFC, not drive him out. Do you think he offered Fedor a crappy contract, no he didn't, he offered him a great one but just didn't sign it. Dana like Dan Henderson and wanted to keep him, but just didn't come to an agreement.

is this the guy that knocked the ref down?

For those who have never seen the John Lewis and Jens Pulver fight after watching this video... go watch it. Lewis got KTFO by Pulver.

Rajah....Hawaiian Flag in the Background at the Gym. Representing to the fullest.

Dos Santos is going to take this one

Because Dana refuses to ban elbows to the head of down fighters. I no longer order UFC PPV's. I now watch Strikeforce on Showtime/CBS. I don't like to see fighters bleed profusely and blood soaked mats!

Gilbert "The Referee Killer" Yvel

I like the Hawaiian Flag in the back!

They only played the 3rd round of that fight.

john lewis is a big 155

Looking forward to a great 2010 for MMA! Maybe Dana will put his damned seatbelt on in the New Year. Remember Mask, Dana? Don't let that happen to you.

You know UFC 108 when they have a video blog dedicated to a Gilbert Yvel workout ... UFC 108 .. yawn
