Dana White Tells Why The Jake Ellenberger vs Diego Sanchez Fight Was Not 5 Rounds.
White also talks about what to do with GSP and Carlos Condit.
At least hes honest about it. “we blew it” is correct Dana!
“Tim and Arlovski were knocking each other out every weekend”
Jake didnt react good to being cut. At all.
@keyboardcowboy
what?
TBH i was not very impressed with Jake, he had a game plan yes and counter punched.
in the 3rd when he got hit a few times, he didnt seem comfortable at all….
although i have to say i wasnt that impressed with Diego either..
so what was the actual reason other than “we blew it”?? wtf does that mean? I wondering if it was a sactioning issue or if they just didn’t schedule it all.
It also sucks that Nick got booked. He says he stops smoking 10 days out, maybe he got second hand or something. Either way he should be more careful and stop atleast three weeks out…
Yeah, I was pretty disappointed about the whole 5 rounds fiasco. But, Jake won so I don’t care! lol
Dave Herman came out looking like Lawrence of Arabia…didn’t even recognize him.
Sylvia should move to Africa, fight some gorillas. I’d pay a dollar for that one!

Good to see Dana evolve and mature in his reflection.
kampman vs. ellenberger,or ellenberger vs rory macdonald… wtf, i thought that was a 5rder, ruined a possible fight of the year…
Wow never thought about that fight. Rory vs Ellenberger would be sick. In my humble opinion Rory is the only one out of Diaz, Condit and Jake that could take out the champ. Rory for gold in 2013.
haha this actually was a good interview. “Him n arlovsku were knocking eahcohter out every weekend, last time i checked he got knocked out by a 50 year old boxer” lololol
@loneronin – Ii think he means they missed an opportunity. Meaning they booked a 3 rounder with the thought that no one would want to see a 5 rounder.
Gotta love how frank Dana always is.
first off the interviewer did not say “final question” earlier he said “final question about nick”.i think they should give tim one more shot,why not whats it going to hurt.it will give fans a gauge of how good that generation was.i would be interested in that fight.
I thought nick had the mary jane settled its simple dont smoke close to a fight.
if nick hasnt retired, a fight against Rory macdonald would be neat, a little revenge for his brother?
i feel bad for sanchez!!! if the fight go 5 rounds im sure he will win the fight..
Yes we would let there be 30 round fights so long as it is arlovski v silvia every weekend. No more questions bc u said “final question about nick.
Yeah Diaz quit mma, he lost to Condit and then Nick and his fanbase s*** themselves and started crying and he retired LOL.
The so-called ‘GSP smasher’ quit like a little girl, GOOD.
