Dana White vlog: Behind scenes of UFC 166 and Melendez-Sanchez bloody battle

In his latest video blog, UFC President Dana White takes us behind the scenes of UFC 166, which took place Oct. 19 at Houston’s Toyota Center.

The video, more than 12 minutes long, takes us inside the most recent pay-per-view ahead of Wednesday’s UFC Fight Night 31 card in Fort Campbell, Ky., and UFC Fight Night 32 in Brazil.
