Just about a month out from her fight with Rose Namajunas, and it would seem as if Tecia Torres is in the clear with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.
As the USADA and UFC continue to work to get banned substances out of MMA, testing remains a top priority.
Torres, who defeated Namajunas in their first meeting, has been tested twice in under four weeks, according to a post she made on Instagram Friday. The two strawweight contenders meet at UFC on FOX 19 from Tampa, Florida on April 16.
Former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman didn’t play around when describing just how critical his rematch with Luke Rockhold at UFC 199 later this year is.

Former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman didn’t play around when describing just how critical his rematch with Luke Rockhold at UFC 199 later this year is.
As you can see from the above message posted by “The All-American” on Twitter, he is taking the fight very seriously.
Weidman, who lost to Rockhold this past December, won the title with a victory over Anderson Silva. He followed that up by proving his win was no fluke, defeating “The Spider” for a second time. Successful title defenses vs. Lyoto Machida and Vitor Belfort followed before Rockhold rocked him.

Let’s be honest. Saturday night’s World Series of Fighting 29 leaves much to be desired outside of one match.
Sure, live MMA on cable television is worth tuning in to see, but if you are expecting fight of the year quality matches, you may be disappointed.
There is one exception to that, though, and it is the main event.
Justin Gaethje defends his lightweight title against Brian Foster from the Bank of Colorado Arena in Greeley, Colorado on NBC Sports Network.
And folks, if you have yet to see the appropriately named “Highlight” in action, you are in for a treat.
Gaethje, just 27 years old, is the brightest star in the WSOF. Heck, he just might be the brightest star competing outside of Zuffa and the UFC.
Following a 7-0 run as an amateur, Gaethje turned pro in 2011 and has yet to be stopped. He opened his career with a first round knockout via slam and has continued to bring down the house since.
His first three bouts ended early, as did 11 of his first 11. Of those, 10 were either TKO or KOs, including stoppage wins over Gesias Cavalcante, Brian Cobb, Dan Lauzon, Richard Patishnock and Nick Newell to begin his WSOF career.
Gaethje’s 2014 finish of Newell was a highlight for his career, as it came on the biggest stage for the fighter.
In 2014, WSOF officials signed veteran Melvin Guillard with the hopes of presenting Gaethje with a stiff challenge. “The Young Assassin” pushed him to the scorecards, but the bout was a non-title, three-round affair because Guillard missed weight.
Last year, Gaethje picked up a pair of victories over Luis Palomino, showing the heart of a champion in the opener. He took the best that Palomino had to offer before earning the third round stoppage. In the rematch, he finished Palomino a round earlier.
Now, Gaethje must fend off Foster, who won a one-night tournament over Palomino and Joao Zeferino to secure his shot. He’s 25-8 in his career and went 3-2 with the UFC from 2009-2010, including a submission win over top contender Matt Brown.
So if you have nothing better to do Saturday night, tune in and check out Gaethje. Also, here’s a complete fight replay of his bout with Palomino that shows off everything “The Highlight” has to offer:

As of right now, you might say Matt Mitrione has one step out the UFC door and another in the one at Bellator MMA headquarters.
Mitrione, who has fought his entire professional MMA career inside the Octagon, recently said on The MMA Hour that he was presented with a “very nice offer” from Bellator to join the heavyweight division. The 37-year former NFL player completed his UFC deal with a loss to Travis Browne.
“UFC has the right to match. Definitely, I’ve got a very nice offer from Bellator,” Mitrione said (thanks to MMAFighting.com for transcribing). “I’ve been in talks with ONE (Championship). I feel I am very happy with where things are with Bellator right now.
“As a matter of fact, I actually sent in (Monday) the official offer sheet from Bellator into the UFC to see if they want to match.”
While fighters such as Benson Henderson, Josh Koscheck and Josh Thomson have left the UFC for Bellator, “Meathead” is content to wait and see what happens.
“If they (match), awesome,” he said. “Great, then we can have a conversation.”
Currently, Mitrione noted that he is working to secure a color commentary job on television while waiting to see what happens with his fighting career.
The loss to Browne remains an issue with Mitrione, as he was hampered by several illegal eye pokes that left him unable to see the Hawaiian as the fight reached its climax. He has filed an appeal with the athletic commission in the state of Massachusetts in hopes of having the bout overturned and a rematch signed if he returns to the UFC.
“I’m still stuck on Travis,” he said. “I want to fight Travis. I got a grievance and I have a vendetta.”
Bryan Caraway might be just as well known for his own MMA skills as those of his girlfriend, newly-crowned UFC female bantamweight champion Miesha Tate.

Bryan Caraway might be just as well known for his own MMA skills as those of his girlfriend, newly-crowned UFC female bantamweight champion Miesha Tate.
But Caraway (20-7) isn’t about to let those who “troll” him by referring to the fighter as “Mr. Tate” play a role in his career.
Aljamain Sterling, an unbeaten bantamweight who recently signed a new contract with the UFC, has been calling for a bout vs. Caraway for well over a year now. And while the alum of The Ultimate Fighter is willing to grant him such a match, it isn’t over his comments.
“This, to me, is not emotional. That’s now where the sport goes for me,” said Caraway, in an interview with MMAjunkie.com. “If it starts going like that, it becomes a circus. It becomes a bullying mentality and teaches all these kids that if you talk crap and bully people, you get what you want in life. That’s not the way I’m trying to go.
“I’m not trying to get to where I want to go because I’m bullying people. I want to fight (Sterling) because he’s ranked fifth in the world. I don’t care what he says.”
Caraway has won five of his seven UFC fights, including three of his last four. His last match, though, came in July of last year when he bested Eddie Wineland.
“I don’t know what the UFC’s plan is,” he admitted. “They’re trying to say I’m ducking people, but here I am calling out these guys and it’s not happening.”

Sure, UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor might have lost to Nate Diaz at UFC 196, but he didn’t fall victim to TV talk show host Conan O’Brien.
The two went move-for-move while playing “UFC 2” when “Notorious” stopped by the TBS late-night program to discuss Diaz and his then-upcoming fight.
Who came out on top? Well, let’s just say the Irish fighter has plenty of gaming skills.
