The California State Athletic Commission held what's turned into its annual Media Day in San Jose last Saturday at Bellator 154. While the focus of many in the MMA community was on UFC 198 happenings in Brazil, myself, Steven Marrocco from MMAjunkie, and Josh Saenz and Jaymz Jaime from MMA Complex got a judging and drug testing education from Big John McCarthy and CSAC Executive Director Andy Foster, along with on-the-job training from the official CSAC judges we shadowed, picking their brain between each round.
While the program was similar to last year's version held at Bellator 136, going through it a second time had its advantages.
