News broke on Tuesday that, according to the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal had tested positive for the steroid Drostanolone at the January 7 Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine fight card. Lawal defeated Lorenz Larkin via a second round knockout on that card.

Dana White’s Tweet: “Munoz is injured and out of the FOX fight! Now it’s Chael Sonnen vs Mike Bisping Jan. 28th and the winner will fight Anderson for the title.”

Last week, word came down that Kenny Florian might have to retire due to a lingering back injury. Florian told the Boston Herald, “I’m just kind of in a holding pattern.

Dana White asked for the “WEC” Jose Aldo to show up in the days prior to Saturday’s main event in Rio de Janeiro. He got that, and more in the champ’s first round TKO of Chad Mendes.

It seemed that many fight fans were not anticipating UFC 142 as eagerly as some of the more recent UFC fight cards and for those that slept on this card, I can only offer my condolences, because you really missed out. 
Any questions that may have lingered about Jose Aldo’s ability to withstand a wrestling based attack were answered early on in the main event as he stuffed each of Chad Mendes’ seven takedown attempts before putting him out with a well placed knee.
