Although the UFC hopes to carry the momentum of a successful UFC 171 event into Sunday’s UFC Fight Night 38 offering, this week’s video blog from UFC President Dana White takes us behind the scenes of UFC 169 and UFC 170.

The early-year pay-per-view events both featured some controversial stoppages in the headliners.
