UFC President Dana White’s latest video blog takes us behind the scenes of UFC 168, where we get some uncomfortable footage of Anderson Silva ‘s broken leg. The vlog, which was released to help promoted Saturday’s UFC 169 event, shows a number of up-close and intimate moments, including Bobby Voelker learning of his job security, Chris Leben essentially calling it a career, UFC champ Ronda Rousey’s backstage focus, Miesha Tate’s post-fight disappointment, and of course, Silva’s loss to middleweight champion Chris Weidman in the Dec. 28 pay-per-view headliner. Check out the footage above (though be warned that some of it is tough to watch). Here are some highlights (and timestamps) from the video: 3:30 – Voelker learns he won’t be cut despite his loss, then gets a gash stitched up 4:45 – A tearful Leben realizes his career is over 5:30 – Uriah Hall discusses his winning game plan and then the difficulty of fighting Leben 6:20 – A confident Travis Browne discusses his win with coach Greg Jackson 7:00 – A focused Rousey heads to the cage, where she’s promptly booed 8:15 – A dejected Tate laments her loss 9:55 – Silva meets Roy Jones Jr., a potential future opponent 11:20 – Matt Serra shouts instructions to Weidman from cageside 11:45 – Silva snaps his leg throwing a low kick and screams in agony For complete coverage of UFC 168 , stay tuned to the UFC Events section of the site
