I haven't really following the Rumble case, but any chance he gets cut?

"He went through the legal process (for the 2009 incident), and that's how it unfolded," Fertitta said. "Obviously, there have been much more significant focus on these issues in light of what's happening in the sports world.

"We do have a zero-tolerance policy, but I think we looked at that situation and the guy had gone through the court system and he was placed on suspension. He has served whatever he had served and we were comfortable bringing him in at that time. Obviously, now in addition to these recent allegations being made, the fact there is a prior makes us a lot more concerned about it."

White said he feels the recent focus on domestic violence due to the NFL's case with Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice is a positive thing -- relating it to what the O.J. Simpson trial did for domestic abuse awareness in the 1990s. White stated the UFC is committed to reaching an appropriate moral outcome in Johnson's case, while juggling the need to run a business.

"You've got to give people a fair f------ shake," White said. "What we have to do as a company and human beings is we have to do what's morally right and then we have to do what's right for the business, too."

Bellator tonight has Alexander Shlemenko defending his MW title against Brandon Hasley tonight. Always like watching Shlemenko fight, Hasley was impressive in winning the last tourney and beating Bret Cooper rather easily. On the ground, he could definitely give the champ trouble.

Also

Marcin Held vs. Patricky Freire
Bubba Jenkins vs. Thiago Meller
Mike Richman vs. Ed West

Yea Hanley is a good wrestler. He should follow that ortiz game plan and just back alex against the cage
