Dana White?s video blog shows Gray Maynard and Clay Guida?s war of words went on after the fight

Though Clay Guida and Gray Maynard fought for five rounds, their rivalry didn't end with the sound of the final horn. FX cameras showed them jawing as they walked out of the cage after Maynard was announced the winner� on Friday night. Dana White's video blog caught their war of words continuing during post-fight medicals. Skip to the 8:30 mark, and as always, be prepared for salty language.

Something tells me this isn't the last time we'll see these two fight. Now that you've watched Guida and Maynard's jawing, go back to see these moments:

-- Though Guida is the "Carpenter," Frankie Edgar may now be the "Electrician." He was called in to turn on a television.

-- After getting his hands taped, Ramsey Nijem quips, "I guess I gotta fight now."

-- "I want to walk." After losing to Steven Siler, Joey Gambino was in no mood to get into a stretcher.

-- Cub Swanson's "Rocky" imitation is spot on.

BJ Penn and Rory MacDonald volunteer for additional drug testing for UFC 152

BJ Penn, who is expected to fight Rory MacDonald at UFC 152 in Toronto, is leading by example in the campaign to introduce more stringent performance-enhancing drug testing into MMA. He and MacDonald tweeted an agreement to have their September bout sponsored by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association.
Penn tweeted to MacDonald on Tuesday:

. @rory_macdonald VADA anti-doping has offered to sponsor our upcoming fight.I've accepted and invite you to help me clean up the sport

. @rory_macdonald VADA results will be released after the fight to ensure that the fight happens. Lets get started asap!!

MacDonald responded:

@bjpenndotcom already worried BJ? honestly i think its a great idea 2, and im ready to do the testing for our fight aswell @danawhite

According to VADA's website, Penn and MacDonald will be subject to a testing program similar to what Olympic athletes under go. They will be subject to random testing, and have to submit their whereabouts to VADA so drug testers can show up whenever they like to require a test.

If it's truly modeled after the Olympic program, Penn and MacDonald need to be ready for knocks on their door at all times of the day and night. Olympians often tweet when the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency shows up at their door, and it's rarely expected.

Kudos to both men for paying more than lip service to the problem of PEDs in MMA. Penn is a respected veteran, while MacDonald is a young up-and-comer in the sport, and they both recognize the need to be role models. Hopefully, more fighters will follow their lead.

UPDATE: Penn's tweet was incorrect. VADA releases test results immediately and does not hold them until after an event.
