It was recently made known that under the new policies of the United States Anti Doping Agency (USADA), which became the UFC's independent administrator of drug testing, fighters will no longer be allowed to rehydrate using intravenous methods.

UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo was not happy.

"Only if they put a security guard with me 24 hours a day," Aldo said of his compliance while speaking with reporters in Brazil Friday. "I don't care. That's what's going to happen. I will do it anyway or someone else will do it for me. I will go to a friend's house, to a different hotel room. I don't [expletive] care about them. They won't take me out of a fight anyway. They can't take me from a fight. It's not doping. They will say they will test me. How are they going to get IV rehydration from my urine, brother? Only if they got new techniques. They are ninjas. They are [expletive] stupid."

Bantamweight Anthony Birchak also sounded off earlier on the new policy saying that it will lead to fighters going up to heavier divisions.

"I think it's [expletive] dumb," Birchak told Bloody Elbow. "A lot of fighters are going to get knocked out. Guys cutting a lot of weight will have to move back up. I just saw Ian Entwistle get pulled out. I know that guy is huge and probably used three or four bags to get back up in weight. I had a very good friend of mine got knocked out because he didn't rehydrate properly. They're going to expect us to go out there and fight and not be fully rehydrated to the max. We run a big chance of getting knocked out. It's [expletive] shitty."

USADA CEO Travis Tygart told MMA Hour that the policy is in place to prohibit blood doping, and not extreme weight cuts.

"There are certain methods, like an IV infusion or gene doping or autologous or homologous blood transfusion, where you take someone else's blood in advance of a bout," Tygart said. "It gives you oxygen carrying capacity and recovery capacity and all sorts of benefits. It would be, by the way, game changing benefits."
