- In an apparent continuation of his downward spiral, Jason "Mayhem" Miller addressed his racially charged conflict with Uriah Hall over the weekend through his Twitter account.

On the night of the incident — where Miller goaded Hall into a brief but heated exchange by repeatedly calling him a "b**ch n***a" — Mayhem tweeted, "HAHAHA F*** YOU B***H N***A."

A few days later, Mayhem described the incident thusly: "Some guy got in my face, I punked him, he threw, I slipped it."

He then lamented the fact that he's been cast as a bad guy by the media following three arrests within a month for domestic disputes and this latest incident.

"It seems to me that I must play the 'bad guy' insomuch as that is the narrative that everyone is writing for me. Truth is, I'm full of love... OH YA, I'M A RACIST. LMMFAO... I have no hate for anyone based on race, and idgaf what u think anyway," he wrote.

Whatever the truth is, Mayhem's remaining fans will be happy to know that he is — according to his Twitter account — planning on returning to MMA.

- It looks like famed grappling coach Robert Drysdale's UFC debut will be cancelled a second time, as MMAJunkie reports that the fighter has failed to obtain a license for his planned UFC 167 bout after registering an elevated testosterone-to-epitestosterone level on a drug test.

Drysdale did not test positive for any banned substances, but did display a T:E ratio over three times that which is allowed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Prior to his initially scheduled debut at UFC 163 — which he pulled out of with a staph infection — Drysdale applied for a therapeutic use exemption for testosterone replacement therapy due to hypogonadism.

Drysdale was scheduled to face fellow light heavyweight Cody Donovan on the UFC 167 preliminary card.
