Jesus people. He's biting a bunch of ice wrapped in a towel. It's a weight cut technique that tricks you into thinking you're drinking more water than you really are

awesome reaction from vitor, dudes a warrior.. gotta respect how mentally/physically draining cutting all that weight would be, just to be told your opponent disrespected you and is coming in way over weight.

I get that it is a weight cut technique, but my god man you're in the middle of a conversation, at least respond first before chewing on a fucking towel.

I am now a Vitor fan, love him handing Dana his dropped phone as he leaves.

gotta be one of my fav videoblogs. love the behind the scenes weight cutting footage.

This vlogs are great. Much better than the ones where guys just see the doctors after the fights. The behind the scenes stuff is always interesting

I never realized what it must be like being the fighter opposite of the guy who didnt make weight....ure dehydrating yourself not eating food feeling like shit to make weight, to think the guy ure fighting is chilling out eating not killing himself to lose every ounce of weight possible before weigh-ins....best UFC Vlog to date in my opinion

It's to keep himself hydrated without drinking water and gaining weight that way. After the weigh ins, he'll start drinking water again.

now these are better vlogs, much better then watching fighters tape get cut off, keep it up!

great vid....shows the raw true harshness of a pro fighter pre fight, great insight for the casual fan

@jitzmaster 3:30 I love the look on Dana Whites face while he watches Vito chew on his towel. " Can I have a bite of that?" Lmao

Lorenzo looks jacked! Damn! And what a class act Vitor is.

The towel he's biting on is full of ice. He's in the middle of cutting weight so he cant have water. It gives him a little bit of relief because he has zero moisture in his mouth from dehydration

1:56 love dana and the voice taking over "hit him , hit him"

Hey uploader, it is timely enough (to upload that VLOG) than previous videos! THX a lot.

This is definitely a step up in competition for Mendes. The 145 lbs division is not that stacked, but Aldo is a killer. We'll see how well Mendes wrestling will keep him out of trouble.

why the ice chewin thru towel? stress or is there a real reason? kills appetite?

Aside from all the weight drama, damn those were some intense staredowns. There's gonna be some good action tonight!

The bad thing for Johnson is that he already is under heat in Brazil cause hes fighting Vitor (home crowd advantage for Vitor) by not making weight he just painted a bigger target on his chest and if he wins or loses the hates going to be huge.

love the behind the scenes videos

Vitor's been in this game since he was 18/19 and has always shown a high level of respect for the sport and his opponents. A true professional if I've ever seen one. War Vitor!

i was not a really big Vitor's fan... but after watch this video i really respect him as a fighter and much more as a man.... he really taught Anthony how it works, how mans do!!! For sure now Vitor got a new fan... Go Victor... the only problem is that you and Anderson are still in the same line...that fucking kills me.... but lets see.... congratulations for the fight, for the atittude and for the human being you are.... PARABENS CARA! VOCE PROVOU QUE EH O CARA!!!!!

@TheeDevilWearsPrada TY for explaining - I think a lot of us were not quite sure about what went on. - but did I not here (replayed it twice) that Belfort weighed in at 186Ibs (1Ib over 185) - does that mean he gets the 20% purse of Johnson or not???

CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH crunch...crunch....crunch, CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH -Vitor Belfort

Damn, Aldo with the killer eyes on the staredown

5:15 "there's bad things I have to deal with every day" Welcome to life, Dana.

Well done Vitor "Smell my foot" Belfort!! Happy that he won with everything that happened

Doing this vlogs say alot about UFC. Thank for upload :-)

Dana, these is no CEO out can be as cool as you are Dude ! Thx for showing us your Logs !

thank you for a real Vblog

Belfort is such an impressive individual. Class. And he won the fight!

Damn, Vitor chewing on that ice was tragic, what a badass,

i feel bad for rumble..he was 187.5 the mornin of the weigh ins but ufc doctors told him to re-hydrate cuz he was getting sick to the point his body and brain will give up..he re-hydrated and got big as 197, the problem dana said was, the only reason rumble got sick was because he start cutting late as 3 days before weigh ins which rumble and his camp didn't know that it was too much for a little time to cut..a lot of fighters have done this but never got sick..unfortunate judgement for rumble..

What was Vitor munching on in the towel to make the crunching noise? At first I thought it might have been ice or something so he only gets to take in small amounts of water, but I really don't know.

It happens in boxing as well. All fighters in combat sports cut weight. I do karate as well, and because kumite in karate is open weight, no one needs to cut weight. And it doesn't matter anyways, the fighters in the weight classes all weigh the same give or take 5-7 pounds...except for the ones that don't cut weight.

what was vitor doing when he was chewing on that towel? Some tech to do to help lose weight or something?

LOL at AJ's excuse, "Dana it's not my fault, I planned on cutting 50lbs and just by "chance" my body couldn't take it." Don't try to cut so much weight and you won't have a problem!

@alfetunes you can add strikeforce as well

Cara o Victor ta de parabens foi muito profissional aceitou mesmo assim e acabou com o mané Parabens!!

This is professionalism. Of both pf them ... Belfort and Dana.

@vinevieira0 they have to fight at the time that USA is the time?

isso só mostra q #UFC é uma organização seria ! parabéns vitor !!!

the face off look so more intense on the blogs than the actual we igh ins on t.v.

May I ask why vitor is biting on a tower rapped around ice? Is it to get his tummy going and lose weight or ?

Don't blame Vitor for being upset. Johnson is a powerhouse wrestler to begin with. Another dozen + lbs on top of that is such a disadvantage.

Aldo is really struggling.. he is chilling as hell...but at the fight day. he recovered well...

3:35 Now I believe Chael Sonnen's story about the Nogueira brothers feeding carrots to the bus.

aldo looked scared, and vitor killed that ice,slushee!

Rumble vs Jon Jones would be interesting, I mean a healthy, hydrated, in shape Anthony Johnson.

Dana White reminds me EXACTLY of Tom Hanks at 1:15.. Funny :)

After all these years of watching UFC, I just noticed that Dana looks like he's a quarter Asian, like Korean or something. You can see it in his eyes. What a trip

Please legends in PT. Thanks Dana White!

Vitor is the fucking man! Great fight, great win, I hope to see him fight Anderson Silva again this year.

@mcazz99 i think it's to keep himself somewhat hydrated without gaining any weight.

omg. belfort was chewing ice because he was making weight. when cutting weight you dehydrate yourself to lose water weight. so naturally you are thirsty during this process and since drinking water will add water weight, its common to chew ice to wet your mouth and relieve the dry mouth sensation. thumbs up so people stop asking.

If you loved the Poison Smash Hit "Every Rose Has It's Thorn".... you have to check out Marvin Massey Every Rose Has It's Thorn cover..... Amazing....

@jaytabz he's cutting weight, which means that the day before the fight, there is a weigh in in which he must weight 185. However, he normally weighs about 205 and so dehydrates to lose water weight, makes the weight, and re hydrates immediately so that on fight night, he is 205 again. Biting on ice is a way for him to stay sane while he is banned from eating and drinking- he is cutting 15-20 pounds of water from his body.

lmfao . Dana -"can i get a bit of that?" 3:22

great blog guys keep it up!

Because there's an advantage of being bigger and stronger than your opponents. Watch Ben Henderson vs. Frankie Edgar I @ UFC 144. Edgar is a natural 155 pounder while Henderson walks around at what looks like 180 pounds. The strength advantage is huge and absolutely necessary if you fight at higher weight classes like MW and LHW.

Rumble didn't even make the 205 next day, he was 211 + Lost the fight which resulted in him being cut for UFC, 100% behind that decision, so unprofessional. Props to Vitor.

i was curious who came up with the idea that johnson cant go over 205 sadly they didnt show that vitor is the man but i think that "additional point" played a serious role in johnsons performance

ANYTHAAAAAAAAAAAANG!! Lol Bones cracks me up

Chewing Ice, that is torture right there.

@caremir Sao Paulo is hosting UFC 147. Silva vs. Sonnen II with wand vs. vitor. plus, the TUF brazil featherweight and middleweight finals. Diego Brandao is rumored to be on it too.

Joe was just spraying on some cover up and putting in some Visine real quick

Vitor was like... oh a towel.. OM NOM NOM NOM NOM. Dana: "WTF?" Vitor: NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM :/

@besimav it keeps your saliva glands wet which in turn is supposed to make you feel less thirsty. he can't drink water because he had to make weight, so he has to trick his body basically.

2 vlogs in 1 week... Very impressed =-]

Vitor was biting the ice to keep hydrated without gaining weight

@logic109 Agreed. I wouldn't go so far as to ask for 1080p, but come on! 720p at least. This is the UFC we are speaking of.

'its my job... *bite bite bite bite bite.. mm.. bite bite*' can i get a bite of that, funniest shit ever

HOLY SHIT A SECOND VLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!

@pronginator it lets in small amounts of water, so small that it keeps u hydrated but does not put water weight on

what time did the event start in brasil?

@DeathNationGaming I think he was chewing on ice to keep his mouth moist. Seen a few fighters use that because they can't drink anything.

Dana is amazed how one favela has a privilege view of the ocean. That favela (actually a very organized poor/lower mid community called Vidigal) has been occupied a long time ago during the hard times in Brazil... and due to the unique system of Brazil, politicians and rich people can't throw them out of their beautiful territory... cool compensation system! Brazil is the best!

@karan6 anthony johnson wasnt 'chilling' etc. he was within a pound of making weight but then had to take water/fluids on board because he was instructed to by doctors. he was 187 3 hours before weigh in.

@AAWPaintball easier said than done, most of what he cut was water weight, done by starving and dehydrating himself. but the kind of cutting weight in advance would mean cutting muscle mass (since he has nearly no body fat) and become a lot weaker or spend multiple days starved and dehydrated to keep the weight off, which is much less healthy and even dangerous.

chewing ice from within a towel, gives the mind sum idea of chewing and tiny bit of water in mouth without rehydration

HAHA the ending was classic!

3:31 Oh, okay.. that towel is holding ice. I thought he just decided to eat the damn towel haha.

@pass1144 makes the body think you are eating, yet you are not takin in any calories. also lets through little bits of water so that you don't take in much fluids but your mouth doesn't dry up too much which could cause blisters and sore throats etc.

Anthony "I can't let my stomach Rumble" Johnson

@jwka2001 if he was sick he woulda lost weight huh? or just too dehydrated. what do you think

@ChompyMchompChomp It's psychological. One of the worst parts of sucking weight is how dry your mouth gets; chewing the ice moistens your mouth without causing your body to retain a ton of water.

vitor Belfort is a great fighter,he seems like a nice guy to

Cutting weight must be the most difficult thing to do, looks horrible. So happy for Vitor.

@dawskinz AJ will still have some time after the second weigh in to rehydrate.. but of course it is better to do it earlier..

3 am to fight... damn i be tired as hell if i were to fight at that time... i probably be asleep on the ring

johnson tried to explain to dana "you know" and dana: "i dont" hehehhe

Johnson should have started cutting 1 week before the event and then on thursday have maybe 10 to go and he could have dropped the water weight.

@aznbllr214 i think its just ice, gives him the feeling that hes eating something solid?

lyoto machida and jon jones took a picture together a few minutes ago in ufc rio 142

@allexcosta duh! of course but what im saying is that some fighters will train but don't necessarily cut until the week of the fight..Rumble and the camp had no idea that he would get sick. Rumble was fine until he couldnt feel his legs. thats what made dana mad that why wait til the week of the fight to cut weight..fighters like rashad, jose aldo, thiago alves cut a week or weeks from fight time because its hard to stay on weight for a long time..most fighters don't make weight until weigh ins

I was going to check into the Dolce diet. I guess not! Vitinho looks like a crazy man!

Vitor PRE-trt. he looks way thicker after learning of the magic of trt. I don't blame him for taking it if he has to. judging by this video he was obviously working himself into the ground with his camps. trt helps recovery time, don't hate the player folks. hate the game.

Vitor's wife Joana Prado/Feiticeira is STILL off the chain! DAYUM!

@SmitoCss The doctors told him that he had to hydrate because it wasn't healthy. he also couldn't cut anymore weight. rumble's response was in the context of, that he couldn't feel his legs and that he was really tiered

I always wondered whats tbe long term effects of cutting weight like a wrestler or UFC fighter
