Fake Herb Dean in Ronda VS Holly promo - Most outrageous thing UFC has done?

I think this is one of the most unintentionally hilarious things that the UFC has done... Discount Herb Dean on the promo, for a promo that's otherwise rather good.

I guess Dana thought no one would notice? All black people look alike? lol


What say you sherbros. What are some of the most outrageous things you've seen in the UFC?

"Where you at Carlos!?"

 

[Kdup]

Everyone knows that was Hurb Deen. Lol at not knowing the referees for MMA. Casual.

 

[Gio]

That for me is one of the greatest promo that the UFC has ever done. The way that event concluded makes it even better.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

I didn't watch it all. But it appears that it's a promo from before the fight. Were they supposed to hire Herb to do it? Like why would this be an issue is what I'm saying? Paying an actor to act, that's some crazy shit.

Now this is a thread


Dana knows how to save money

As someone who works in advertising I would be shocked if the bald goof has ever watched it.

It could be something as simple as Herb not being available on the day of the shooting.

the guy imitates his style / movement and all

hilarious indeed - like why TF was this necessary? Lolol

or can a ref not receive a cheque from UFC nor do them a favor either?

"The Governor needs to step in...I'm scared to come back here to do fights"

"GSP owes it to the fans to fight again"

"GSP is at the hospital"

...takes GSP's belt when GSP is in the shower... and tries to put up bodyguards to keep GSP and his team out of the pressor... before proceeding to cuck out once GSP shows up <45>

I agree it was a great promo, like really great. It was more like a movie.

What it even better is they didn't need the fighters to shoot it and just used existing footage and actors. I assume this is cause Rhonda was being weird about not doing much press at the time. It could easily be a trailer for a movie.

All they do now is random images of them training in the gym and a little b-roll footage. They even use the same gym to record them all at the UFC Apex so they all look the same now.

 

[Touch Butt]

Never seen that promo, surprisingly loved it. Especially given the result.

 

[Fiddlesticks]

What a promo.

Maybe they can't take money from a promotion directly? Conflict of interest?
I think they get paid by the Athletic commission and never from a promoter directly

 

[PurpleStorm]

It was Derb Hean

I once saw Smiles Davis playing sax. Yes I was high.

 

[Cooliox]

Ariel : Is this the lowest moment as President of the UFC?
Dana: Yes, without a doubt

"I left during the 4th round and gave the belt to Ed Soares, saying I'm not putting the belt around him (Anderson). You put it."

"I am embarrassed"

"I OWE THE FANS, I'M GOING TO PAY EVERYBODY BACK"

..."Anderson might be the first champion fighting on the prelims"

 

[The Chosen]

They used actors throughout the entire promo, not that weird
