It's in the Dutch news aswell, it was an out of competition test and his testosteron lvl was to high, no reaction from him tho

And Stevie no way , Overeem would destroy Junior.

No chance

It's going to be a long time before we see Junior in action again :depressed

I think Mirr is likely to fight Junior now at this event.

I think Mirr is likely to fight Junior now at this event.

It would be short notice, but possible. Mir would jump at it, I'm sure.

Read this lastnight

Although the former title holder has yet to receive an official offer, Mir is fully prepared to if the phone does ring.

“I would be excited if given the opportunity to compete for the UFC’s heavyweight title at UFC 146, if the reports released earlier today regarding Alistair Overeem failing his 'A’ sample drug test are true,” Mir stated. “I have been fortunate to be able to fight in the UFC for more than a decade and it is a dream of mine to become the first three-time heavyweight champion in the UFC.

“Being able to fight Junior dos Santos would put me one step closer to that dream.”

 

[WΏΏdy?]

Mir was supposed to fight Cain right?

 

[Enron]

Is fighting Cain. No one has been pulled from the card as of yet. Reem still has to go before the Commission to plead his case.

 

[WΏΏdy?]

I hope he gets a green signal to fight Junior, he is probably the last remaining challenge at HW for Cigano.

Mir would get smashed, dude got a weaker chin than Rashad.

 

[Enron]

Mir? Not really. He's probably one of the few guys that can take damage, scramble and turn it into something positive. Dude can take a ton of damage, so long as he avoids direct hits.

Now if he gets knocked out by Cigano it's not because he has a "weak" chin, it's cause Cigano throws laser accurate bombs that any man has difficulty standing before.

If Josh Barnett wins Strikeforce and passes all the drug tests to fight UFC, I think he can be a huge test for anyone.

 

[WΏΏdy?]

Ah barnett of course i forgot that albino gorrilla. He does have a style to kill Cigano's style, getting all scrappy and getting the fight to the ground by the ugliest means possible But i have major doubts about his cardio, if Cigano stuffs all of his takedowns and lands at least ONE of his vicious uppercuts then it will be a short night.

Come man Only time mir managed to scrap after getting hurt was against big nog, and i believe the ref screwed Nog, he could have kept punching mir and it was light out. I hate the refs sometimes, these illegal shots to the 'back of the head', they cannot judge it well in the heat of the moment, look at the last 2 KO wins of Vitor (Akiyama,franklin) dude lands at least 2 full throttle blows to the back of the head. Look at hendo's back of the head shots against Fedor, how did they miss those? and nog lands one brushing shot and the ref starts with the warnings making him go for the choke instead. Credit to mir for pulling off the submission of the decade though.

Mir can accurately bug Cigano with girly shots, he might even avoid getting hit with one but for how long?

 

[Enron]

Alright, Reem popped a 14:1 on his T/E ratio. That shit more than double the allowable ratio. So he's buybye.

 

[WΏΏdy?]

Fuck

BTW Todd duffee is fighting tomorrow, a couple of hours from delhi. I would have given a fuck if i found about it earlier

 

[WΏΏdy?]

Hendo says he is "open" to take the fight against Dos Santos, ohh man what i would give to watch this with you E Hendo getting smashed!

 

[Enron]

No way. Hendo would give Dos Santos a fight.

 

[K.O.]

Too bad Overeem was pulled out. The guy would've gotten the beating of his life by JDS.

Basically, no one in HW division is worthy of fighting JDS other than Velasquez and Mir at this moment. Hendo would give us a real fight but will lose to JDS 99% no doubt.

 

[K.O.]

Jones destroyed Rashad. Bones superiority to the rest of LHWs is ridiculous! Rory Mcdonald will be the next welterweight champion when GSP move up to middleweight even though this Che Mills guy was so unimpressive.

Now, JDS will fight Mir for the HW title. JDS is winning no doubt.

 

[.zero]

Where's Woody

I want to hear him tell me how Bones is not the best LHW there ever was/will be

 

[WΏΏdy?]

Right here drumerry

I missed the event and right now i cannot think straight after the milan draw, will get back to this after we beat the shit outta roma and after i watch the fight.

But i'll say this for now, rashad aint very high up the ladder of the best LHWs ever or now

 

[WΏΏdy?]

Just wanted to express my disgust on the Shogun - Silva match up What the fuck did silva do to deserve a fight against mauricio? I like silva but shogun should have got a top 5 opponent after his epic brawl (which should have been a draw ) with dan.

Disgusting, sure silva has the tools to knock out anyone but a win for shogun does little for him to get back into the title picture and his destiny to knock out jon jones. That's right Dru

 

[Stevie]

Yeah your right Silva has been crap for a long time Shogun will go threw him pointless fight imo.

 

[K.O.]

Shogun should've been booked for Alexander Gustafsson, who defeated Thiago Silva recently.

Dana white should find a replacement for Joe Silva.

 

[Enron]

UFC is playing "little steps" with Gustafsson and rightly so. He'd get overmatched by Shogun at this point. A lot of potential though.

Hector Lombard is moving to the UFC. Finally. First fight is against B Stann. Explosive.
