The episode features UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier 'confronting' interim Heavyweight Champion Fabricio Werdum. Cormier playfully tells Werdum that he should have just stayed quiet.

- Jose Aldo experienced controversy Thursday morning as one of his urine samples for a pre-fight drug test was discarded by the fighter. This had been requested by Ben Mosier, who administered the test, and was working without a proper visa in the country.

According to MMA Fighting, Aldo has been re-tested and the sample will be sent to Salt Lake City, Utah for examination.
