It won’t be pretty, but changes soon may be in store for the Nevada State Athletic Commission’s drug-testing protocols.

Shortly after the discovery of an allegedly bogus urine sample submitted by UFC 125 competitor Thiago Silva, NSAC Executive Director Keith Kizer informed his commission inspectors that they might have to, well, take a closer look in the locker room.

If allegations against Silva prove true, Kizer said, the adjustments made following the NSAC’s first case of sample tampering – which came in 2006 – may need to be revised again.

SEATTLE – Fighting just seven days after Jon Jones claimed the UFC’s light heavyweight belt, Phil Davis simply couldn’t avoid the
questions.

Try as he might to deflect the comparisons to “Bones,” the wrestling

LAS VEGAS – Don’t look now, but with his second “Submission of the Night” bonus in his past
three trips to the cage, fan-favorite UFC lightweight Clay Guida has suddenly put together a three-fight win streak.

But following his UFC 125 win over former PRIDE champion Takanori Gomi
at Saturday’s pay-per-view event in Las Vegas, Guida said that’s just
the tip of the iceberg.

While Guida is known for putting on some of the most exciting fights in
the UFC, “The Carpenter” said that’s simply not enough. He’s focused on a
title, and he believes he can get there before the end of the year.

John Hathaway hardly bats an eye when he hears Mike Pyle’s promise to teach him a lesson at UFC 120.

However, Hathaway does take issue with his opponent’s claim that he’s
