Ben Rothwell hints new UFC drug policy could impact champ Cain Velasquez

On Saturday, heavyweight Ben Rothwell engaged in a post-fight speech that could only be described as memorable.

Moments after finishing opponent Matt Mitrione with a first-round guillotine at UFC Fight Night 68, Rothwell took the microphone and rang off some rhetoric that had him sounding like a cheap Conan The Barbarian impersonator hell bent on a WWE contract more than a legitimate heavyweight MMA contender.

After the cameras went dark, however, is when things really got weird. Rothwell sounded off on the more serious issue of performance enhancing drugs in mixed martial arts on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour.
