This is awesome. USADA showed up at Mighty Mouse's house while he was streaming on twitch.

Barring a very surprising short-notice change, we won't have a title fight in February, so updated title history for next month.

I am not a BJJ expert at all, and I can't always tell a "bad tap", though Rogan clearly was shocked by it. However, from reading the comments of a lot of jiu-jitsu experts on the internet, tapping out in that situation is a rookie white belt move, and whoever gave him his purple belt should be embarrassed.

Benson Henderson has signed with Bellator. He's said he wants to retire with the UFC, but right now he wants to be paid and Bellator offered him more money.

The CSAC just passed a lot of "emergency" weight-cutting rules for fights in California. They pretty much did everything they could to ban dehydration for weight-cutting. The new rules go into effect on March 1st. IV rehydrating is banned, so that will impact all promotions for the state, not just the UFC. (If its medically necessary, they might give a waiver, but the IV can't be for rehydrating, and if you need an IV for another medical reason you probably wont be allowed to fight) Also, the CSAC will test urine for signs of dehydration (unclear if this is just the day of weigh-ins), if you fail the test you get 2-3 hours to try to rehydrate. If you fail the test again or the doctor sees signs of dehydration, the bout will be called off. The CSAC is also giving promotions and fighters the ability to move weigh-ins back up to 30 hours before the event. In the future, they will look into possibly moving weigh ins to 72 hours before the event.

In other news, Hendricks is no longer fat. He lost a lot of weight and looks pretty good. If he keeps that up, he should no longer have issues making 170

Henderson said the UFC's contract offer was 3rd behind Bellator and ONE. It wasn't just about base pay and sponsorships, Bellator also offered him other fringe benefits, and granted him permission to participate in kickboxing and jiu-jitsu tournaments.

The UFC signed some interesting Russian LHW prospect...... and USADA pops him before he can even make his debut.

They will probably lose some higher-level fighters who the UFC wants but doesn't badly want. They can still pay the champion and the top 2 or 3 contenders a lot of money in each division, but below that, you are either accepting less money hoping to break through, or you realize you wont get there and take more money with a 2nd-tier promotion.

Wow, Tim Means got popped by USADA. He's supposed to fight Cowboy in the main event for the Pittsburgh card in 2.5 weeks. UFC has to find a short-notice opponent for Cowboy.

Chris Weidman is getting an immediate rematch against Rockhold, in June.
When you look around at the ruined, barren wasteland that is the middleweight division, it probably makes sense.
