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.

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

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

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

@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

@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???

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

ANYTHAAAAAAAAAAAANG!! Lol Bones cracks me up

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

love the behind the scenes videos

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

thank you for a real Vblog

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

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

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

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

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

great blog guys keep it up!

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

@alfetunes you can add strikeforce as well

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

what time did the event start in brasil?

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

HAHA the ending was classic!

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

@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.

Damn, Aldo with the killer eyes on the staredown

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

"HERE HE IS !! HERE HE IS!!"... *joe rogan comes running out of nowhere ... "Sorry man, i was getting stoned in the bathroom"

notice that in one day this has more views then anything ufc comes out with

@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.

fuck that was a awsome vid dana good job and thank u

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

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!!!!!

Please legends in PT. Thanks Dana White!

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

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..

@UmQuartoCrew Acho que pra amortecer o maxilar e talvez também, umidecer a boca, já que até a pesagem eles ficam desidratados

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.

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

"Anthony Johnson is so far from makin weight it's not even funny...... so here's the deal" -Dana white ..LOL

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

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

what do u not enjoy the fresh crunch of towels?

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

What is vitor doing ? @ 3.47 ?? Training his jaw ??

Chewing Ice, that is torture right there.

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

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....

@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.

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

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

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

what is vitor biting on?

@jitzmaster its to make his jaw stronger to take punches

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

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

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

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

what was belfort doing biting in that thing?

@Antix That was interesting, thanks for sharing.

@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.

@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.

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

@brandonlamarmusic its to rehydrate himself after the big weight cut

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

@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.

what's vitor biting on??? ice??

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.

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

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

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

@andreeeeluiz Na verdade a toalha tem gelo por dentro, deve ser pra fortalecer o maxilar

@BladeAssault I want to know y they bite ice as well

@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.

@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.

@rayruiz12345 The actual weight cut takes half a day, it makes you REALLY thirsty, but you can't drink a drop of liquid til after you weigh in... biting ice helps in suppressing your thirst

@jaytabz yes he is... most fighters cut weight for a fight and like vitor he has to cut a lot of weight and this a technique to rehydrate his body after losing so much weight

what is vitor doing at 4.07? why he is chewing?

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

LETS FUCKING DOOOOO THIS UFC!!!

Jose Aldo's staredown LOL

Vitor was biting the ice to keep hydrated without gaining weight

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.

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

fuck I love these video blogs
