Mike Dolce on IV ban: 'Someone would die because of that'

Add Mike Dolce's voice to those significantly worried about the implementation of an IV ban on UFC fighters.

The UFC has some interesting days ahead when it comes to policy implementation. It's still unclear how the planned IV ban for weight cuts (set to go into effect on October 1st) will actually change the structure of the UFC and its weight divisions. Exact numbers as to just how many fighters use IVs to re-hydrate don't exist although some have suggested it's as high as 50%. Certainly the reactions from fighters on the news of the ban suggests that many of them are worried about it.
