(Getty)Fans get unbelievable access to fighters at UFC events. During breaks between fights, fighters will walk around and take pictures and give autographs to whoever asks them. But sometimes that access can lead to problems, like when a fan takes a swing at a fighter.

At "The Ultimate Fighter" finale on Saturday, a Brazilian fan called Chael Sonnen over to the stands, and then threw a punch that didn't land. A security guard stepped in and dragged the fan away.

Sonnen took the incident in stride.

"It was very quick, like those things typically happen," Sonnen told MMAjunkie.com. "I was visiting with some fans, and a gentleman had started in on me. Ultimately, that's what it led to.

"I think a fan can do anything they want. I think they can heckle, a fan can boo, but they can't touch you. But the same thing goes for me. I can yell at a fan too, but you can't touch them. If you want to be a fan, you buy the ticket, and you can have any energy you want, whether it's positive or negative. And in this case it was negative, and he went a little too far."

A little tip for fans -- don't try to hit fighters. Don't hit anyone, really, but you definitely should not hit a professional fighter. Even if you don't think much of his fighting skill, he's still among the best fighters in the world. At best, you'll look like a fool. At worst? You'll end up knocked out.

(Instagram)UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones thought he was having a good day. His fight with Chael Sonnen is in just nine days. His line of Nike gear is going on sale tomorrow morning. But the repo man can mess up any day.

He shared this picture on his Instagram account with the caption, "Just when my day was going so well!! Deposit some checks at the bank, come outside to my car getting repo'd."

And this is what Jackson's MMA, where Jones trains, had to say:

Just got a call from @jonnybones to come get him from the bank. His car got repo's! Haaaa! Check out his Instagram for pictures @johnnybones

Now, this could be a practical joke Jones is playing, but look at all the stuff he had in the car sitting in a heap on the ground. If it's a joke, he sure is committed to the gag.

UPDATE: Nah, it wasn't the repo man. It was just a miscommunication on his rental car.

Jon Jones is one of the few mixed martial artists who has a deal with Nike. Now, his gear will finally be for sale. The UFC light heavyweight champion tweeted that his gear for his UFC 159 bout with Chael Sonnen will go on sale around 9 a.m. tomorrow on Nike.com.

What do you think of Jones' gear? It doesn't look like too much time and effort went into the design. Will you rush out to buy it? Tell your thoughts in the comments, on Facebook or on Twitter.

Should Mousasi (left) drop down? (Getty)Onetime Strikeforce light heavyweight champion Gegard Mousasi wants your input. He's thinking of dropping down:

@ufc@arielhelwani @fightersonly Hey everybody, what you think about if I go to 185? I am curious what people think about this idea.

— Gegard Mousasi (@mousasi_mma) April 17, 2013

At 6-foot-1, he isn't an overwhelmingly large light heavyweight. Most of Mousasi's career has been at 205 lbs., but he did win the 2008 DREAM Grand Prix at 185 lbs with a win over Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza in the final.

Mousasi won his UFC debut, but it was hardly memorable. His original opponent, Alexander Gustafsson, was replaced in the last minute by Ilir Latifi, and we found out after the fight Mousasi was dealing with an injury. Perhaps it is the right move.

Do you think Mousasi should drop down to middleweight? Speak up in the comments, on Facebook or on Twitter.

Well-known MMA referee Josh Rosenthal has been a part of some of the UFC's most famous bouts, including Brock Lesnar's championship win over Shane Carwin and Dan Henderson's Fight of the Year win over Mauricio "Shogun" Rua. Now, it turns out he was also part of an illegal drug operation.

In a story that could have been the plot of the show "Weeds," Rosenthal plead guilty to charges of conspiracy to manufacture and distribute marijuana. He and an associate owned a warehouse that kept 1,356 marijuana plants with a street value of $6 million. According to MMA Junkie, he could spend more than three years in prison:

The government is recommending 37 months in jail, fines and five years of probation, during which he would be subject to random searches, according to the agreement. Without a deal, he faced 10 years to life in prison, a $10 million fine and a minimum of five years' probation.

The court will ultimately decide Rosenthal's fate. He is scheduled to appear on May 17.

Rosenthal was once a mainstay on the UFC refereeing rotation, but hasn't been in the cage recently. His license lapsed in California as he dealt with his legal troubles and healed from a staph infection. Though referees are assigned by state commissions, not the UFC, Rosenthal had earned the praise of UFC president Dana White for his role in the Lesnar-Carwin bout.

(Getty)Chael Sonnen is the best in the fight game when it comes to promoting fights. People who know nothing about MMA know about Chael P. Sonnen and how he can use his mouth to make you turn into a fight.

Sometimes, his opponent will try to match Sonnen's promotional antics. Anderson Silva did it in a conference call where he promise to rearrange Sonnen's teeth. Jon Jones, who is fighting Sonnen in a light heavyweight title bout next weekend, is leaving most of the promoting to his opponent. This led to the bizarre interview during last weekend's "The Ultimate Fighter" finale, where Jones basically ignored Sonnen's existence.

Or perhaps Jones was just waiting until his appearance on Fuel's "UFC Tonight" to start talking trash. During his interview, Jones said Sonnen has been on steroids his whole career.

"Chael Sonnen is a guy who people know he's done steroids throughout his career," he said. "It's probably the reason why his testosterone is low now. I don't think that's the heart or an attitude of a champion. That's what I meant when I said he lacks a championship soul."

Sonnen tested positive for illegal substances after UFC 117, a fight he lost in the final minutes to Silva. However, he said in testimony in front of the Nevada State Athletic Commission that he has never taken steroids. Before his July rematch with Silva, another loss, Sonnen was granted a therapeutic use exemption for testosterone use because of hypergonadism.

UPDATE: Jones posted an apology to Sonnen on his Twitter account.

I had no right to accuse chael of being a career long steroid user I apologize. See what had happened was....

UFC heavyweight Pat Barry has probably entertained you in some way. Whether it's in a knockout, like when he knocked out Shane del Rosario in December, or in one of his hilarious videos, the man knows how to keep you entertained. But now he needs your help entertaining someone important in his life.

Barry's mother is in the hospital and doctors can't quite figure out what's wrong. This is taking a toll on the family's spirits, so Barry has turned to his fans. He wants his fans to come up with a short video or photo impersonating his mother. It's not likely that you know Barry's mother, so he's hoping fans come up with what they think his mother is like.

He will make a compilation of the entries, and his mother will choose the best one. The winner will get tickets to a UFC event. Barry has a fight coming up against Shawn Jordan at UFC 161, but he says it doesn't have to be that fight. So, pull out your creative side, make a woman in the hospital laugh, and maybe win tickets to a fight. It's not a bad way to spend an evening.

Have you ever watched an MMA fight in a cage or a ring and thought, "This needs a multilevel playing surface without adequate padding?" Or have you watched a fight and said to your buddy, "One fighter facing another? YAWN." If so, the Hip Show in Russia has you covered.

According to the website, the show features two-on-two battles in a three-level arena. The video shows people yelling, fighters falling off of platforms, and a huge potential for injury. I would think this is a fake video produced by a late night talk show, but no actor can fake knocked-out-face that well. Here are the rules:

-- If during a round one of the team members is eliminated (knockout, knockdown, submission hold, disqualification) - the fight continues 1 vs 2 for 1 minute.

-- Once a fighter has been knocked down, the opponent stands by the referee during the 10 count.

So, it's MMA meets "American Gladiator" with a touch of dodgeball thrown in.

Thanks, With Leather.
