UFC's Anthony Birchak on ban on IVs: 'It's f----ng dumb', a lot of dehydrated fighters are getting KO'd

UFC bantamweight Anthony Birchak isn't a fan on the recent ban on using IVs to rehydrate after weigh-ins.

One of the more recent complaints on the new USADA policies being implemented in the UFC starting July, was the ban on using IVs to rehydrate after weigh-ins. As it has been a regular practice in MMA to fully rehydrate by that method, a lot of fighters have already voiced out against the topic on social media.

UFC bantamweight Anthony Birchak is no exception, and one of his biggest gripes was that the reason for the ban isn't even about controlling weigh cuts.
