A special edition of "Road to the Octagon" debuted this past weekend, highlighting the event. Included in that is a look at the main event between Holm and Shevchenko, which you can see a replay of in the video above.

- Jon Jones tested positive for Hydroxy-clomiphene and Letrozole metabolite, according to a report by Steven Marrocco of MMAjunkie. Jones' hearing in front of the Nevada Athletic Commission took place Monday morning, as the former UFC light heavyweight champion was given a temporary suspension for taking the banned substances.

Jones was removed from the UFC 200 main event after testing positive during a June drug test. He faces a likely two-year suspension for taking the illegal drugs.

- Cris "Cyborg" Justino is no longer married to Bellator fighter Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos, but she still cares very deeply for him. Over the weekend, Santos was injured in a loss at Bellator 158 to Michael Page, suffering a fractured skull. While Bellator has agreed to pay medical expenses for the Brazilian, the Invicta FC featherweight champion has taken matters into her own hands.

A GoFundMe account was created to help assist Santos with his recovery. Several fighters have already donated to the cause, including Nate Diaz and Chael Sonnen. Santos is set to see another doctor on Monday to determine surgery in either the U.S. or the United Kingdom.
