Browns RB Trent Richardson gave the Bengals' defense problems in Week Two, making him just about a must-start in the Week Six rematch.

Dana sez
Welcome to another edition of Dana Sez, where Dana White declares what's what and MMA websites farm his word crops for a bountiful news harvest. First up, his position on the Alistair Overeem situation:
"I will snap and freak out and I don’t want to do that," White told reporters following the conclusion of the press conference. "I don’t want to talk about it. I’m too upset about it. Seriously, I can’t talk about it."
...
"Everybody gets due process," White said. "Alistair Overeem will have his due process with the Nevada State Athletic Commission. We’ll see what happens and we’ll go from there. When it all goes down, somebody else will speak about this. Not me."
It doesn't sound like Dana White is too impressed with Alistair Overeem's plans to make a legal runaround on his positive UFC 146 drug test. Which is nice because it makes the UFC prez's next statement about random testing sound slightly less bullsh*t:
"I have 375 fighters in every country all over the world. The battle that I have to get these guys to get their [expletive] bout agreements back and show up for press is un[expletive]believable. The fact that I have to make personal phone calls to tell guys to talk to the [expletive] press. Now I'm going to start making personal phone calls to go show up for random drug tests? The general public and the media need to grasp some [expletive] concept of reality, okay? The reality of us doing all the [expletive] things that we're doing, when we already have the gold standard in drug testing, and then trying to chase 375 guys all over the world to randomly test them too? It's impossible," White said.
The UFC having the 'gold standard' in drug testing just tells you how miserable testing is across the rest of the sports world. Unfortunately, we're still in this wierd place where government run commissions are the ones responsible for testing and they're doing a wholly inadequate job.
Putting the UFC in charge of it's own testing doesn't seem like the optimal solution either. That's why they've put their support behind a new international federation that can replace their self-regulation for European shows. Are these guys going to be any better at catching cheaters as American commissions? Probably not. Oh steroids. You sticky wicket.
Fans have talked about the idea of international feeder leagues for a while now and it looks like Dana and the Fertittas are starting to toy with the idea:

Jon Jones and Rashad Evans jaw at each other
The general impression I'm getting from UFC fans is the Jon Jones / Rashad Evans feud got old sometime around the end of 2011 and now it's just kinda played out. That's not to say people aren't excited about the fight - it's just the hype that's all been there done that. Can Jon and Rashad re-ignite our interest in their hatred of each other? UFC Insider does it's best to make it so.
