So, according to multiple sources USADA is putting a policy in place that will ban fighters from hydrating with IVs after weigh ins. Thoughts? I personally like it. If you're relying that heavily on IVs to replenish your fluids you might be cutting too much weight.

Apparently UFC fighters are already pissed off at this decision.

I don't really see to many people pissed on that article but I'm sure there will be some. I think guys shouldn't be cutting so much weight anyway so I think it could be a good thing. I mean if you got guys passing out and going to the hospital then you shouldnt be cutting that much.
