Overeem Fails Drug Test
 

Cain should step up and get the fight..

He is prolly in shape already and is scheduled to fight Mir on the same card..

Fucking sucks though..

Well, that's disappointing if unsurprising.

I'm extremely curious to see who gets the fight. Krispy mentioned Cain which was my first thought but I doubt it. I think Mir gets bumped up to fight JDS before anyone else.

Apparently his levels were 10:1 versus the acceptable levels of 6:1 according so some ESPN guy on Twitter.

He should have never given up on the horse meat.

:n:

Not that I wouldn't mind seeing Mir getting KO'ed, but wins over a done Cro Cop, Roy Nelson, and Big Nog doesn't deserve a title shot.. The last times he fought contenders, he was dominated (Carwin and Lesnar)..

Cain destroyed Lesnar for the title and was injured in his only loss, against Dos Santos..

Maybe Josh Barnett might be coming back to the UFC sooner than originally thought..

Yeah but Cain hasn't even been in a fight since he lost. I really think the fight has to go to someone who has strung together some recent wins and other than Mir you have Mark Hunt and I think that's about it.

Barnett has one, maybe two more fights left with Showtime before that can happen. He'd be a great addition but there's always the threat of him pissing dirty again at any time.

But UFC owns Strikeforce now..

lol

Yes, I'm not certain exactly how it works but I think Barnett and Cormier are contractually obligated to Showtime for the SF Grand Prix finals as well as one more fight for the winner. I think. I could just be talking out of my ass.

Well, I had heard that if Barnett did well in the grand prix, Dana would let him come back with open arms..

lol, inevitable.

fuck...

MMA is awful for drugs.

Dude is fucked if he doesn't have a good excuse. Dana has to cut him after this if he's found guilty. It sucks because I thought Overeem would be a star over here.

Damn.

Was really looking forward to his fight vs the champ.

Anyway, back to no interest in MMA.

Brock still has one fight left on his contract.

Ugh, fuck. Dude

He doesn't have the stand up to take on any of the top guys besides Mir.

He can fight Fedor on some BumFights card in Russia now

He got a title fight with a 1-1 record in the UFC because he was a draw, so what would be different about giving him a title fight with a slightly worse record in which he'd still draw?

He'd get killed by Dos Santos.

Carwin's level of power + Cain's level of technique = extra bad night for Lesnar.

Asses in seats and eyes on TVs is all Dana cares about.

I think this should cancel the results of him against Lesnar because he was cheating.

The more I read and think about this, the more it pisses me off..

A few years ago, the UFC HW division was by far the weakest division in MMA.. They bring in Cro Cop and he fucking sucks.. They have to bring back a 45+ year old Randy Couture to get rid of Sylvia.. We get Big Nog, but Mir has beat him twice now.. Then we get Lesnar, who ends up getting sick and becoming a HUGE pussy.. Then you have Cain, who is an all around solid fighter, but Dos Santos "dethrones" him, for lack of a better term.. Throw in Carwin and his 3 min fights somewhere in there, but then he exposes his weak gas tank.. Then we get Overeem, who over the past few years, has look unstoppable, failing a drug test, the HW division is back to being weak..

I mean, you still have Cain, Dos Santos, Mir, etc, but are we really looking for Josh Barnett to bring the HW division back??

fuck

:(

Seems like truly talented Heavyweight guys are just few and far between. t seems like Middleweight/Light Heavyweight is around the ideal size to be a pro MMA fighter.

Yeah, all this nonsense makes me wish that Jones moves up to HW sooner rather than later.

People are calling for a 8-7 Mark Hunt to get the shot cause of his 3 UFC wins.. I know he just beat Kongo, who had been on a run, bu the only fight I've seen him in, in the UFC, was against Big Ben Rothwell, and it was one of the worst fights I've ever seen.. Rothwell gassed in the second and Hunt gassed trying to put him away..

Yeah, that's our fault. This all started on Bloody Elbow as a shits and giggles thing and is actually blowing up. I dunno exactly how many people from there have tweeted Dana White but I know I signed up for twitter just to take part in the whole thing and there have been a number of fighters that we as a community have gotten on the Mark Hunt bandwagon.

It's crazy. I actually kinda hope he gets it.

That would be horrible..

I'd love it just because of the "Holy shit, did we actually just make this happen?" factor.

Here was today's post on the whole thing.

lol this headline

Lol indeed. I think he gets around this hurdle and fights.....hopefully

Lol Mark Hunt


F it. Why not right?

Why do they say that Overeem having Testosterone of 14 men is unnatural or whatever? Maybe Overeem is that big and "manly" by nature, so if u compare gim with 14 average men, he can easily have 14 times the testesrone.

Well John Cena probably can lift 14 times the weight that I can lift, hes not on steroids, so how is this not possible?

So if Mir is named his replacment I wonder who will replace him against Cain? I suppopse they can almost just grab anyone. It seems everytime there's a stacked card someone either gets injured or tests positive and gets taken out.

I think Mir is a bigger threat at this point than Overeem anyway

It's a pretty shitty situation for JDS. His fight is a little over a month away and he doesn't know who he's facing. Mir presents a different challenge than Overeem because of his jiu jitsu, which is an aspect of JDS's game we haven't seen tested. With Overeem, he knows it's going to be more about the stand up.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope that due to some miracle, Overeem is cleared to compete. I was really looking forward to this fight SO BAD. No one else can make up for Overeem.

Cain

Also, Mark Hunt is a huge mistake.. Sure he ground game is better than it was when he was in Pride but Dos Santos would murder him.. He has a punchers chance but so does Kimbo.. Why not just give him the shot??

Or let Rampage come in at his natural weight and out of shape.. Cause that's what you'd get with Mark Hunt..

Cain has knock out power, is a great wrestler, and is always in great shape..

Yeah, was gonna say he already got bombed out by JDS in a round less than 6 months ago, no real need for a rematch of that one

I dont want to see anyone other than Overeem fight :( I am completely turned off MMA now, no Lesnar, No Overeem, I aint interested in the other guys, they are BORING.

He was injured..

Even if he was injured, the result happened. Cain has to win his next fight and maybe another one to get a shot at JDS if he's still champ.

Damnit where's Lashley has he lost a fight yet? Lets hype him up as the next Brock

He gassed out in a Strikeforce match and quit before the third..

His last fight was for Shark Fights..

No bullshit..

He's still 7-1 though.

I bet Dana would never have allowed Lesnar to retire out of his last remaining UFC contracted fight had this come to light sooner.

No way Lesnar would get the shot before Cain or Mir after his last two fights..

Wanna bet? He draws which is all Dana White gives a shit about. Dana has shown time and time again he only gives opponent credibility and legitimacy lip service.

Brock wouldnt get the title shot lol..Dana isnt that unfiar

I would shit myself if they put Hendo in there with JDS

So would jds! Lol

Brock wouldn't take that fight even if Dana asked. Dude's heart isn't in it anymore and this isn't the kind of sport where you can half ass it.

http://mmajunkie.com/news/28149/ufc-...ill-happen.mma

Damn. Hendo never even crossed my mind as a possible opponent. A part of me wants to see it, but a part of me would rather see him wait and take on the winner of Jones/Evans. That's a pretty big height and weight disadvantage too.

He's supposed to be working with Josh Barnett now, so that's a good thing. I'd love to see him take on Fedor. If he wins that, Dana would definitely have to consider bringing him in to the UFC.

Mir/Dos Santos & Silva/Velasquez. Not sure if they'd find somebody to fight Nelson or pull him from the card altogether, but this is the best way to go.

It's not gonna be Mir..

Looking good for MARK HUNT

Dana never said Velasquez/Mir will happen at UFC 146. He just said it "will happen." He may have meant a later time.

He'd take an asswhooping for a nice payday.

I dunno. The one thing I like and respect about Brock is the fact that he has pride and doesn't take kindly to losing. I think he would have stuck around if he was getting his asswhooped and still winning, but I believe Lesnar realized he wasn't going to be able to compete with the top guys and decided to walk away rather than stick around just to collect a check. That's pretty respectable.

In hindsight, MMA kind of missed out. When Lesnar came out of college, earning a living in MMA wasn't a viable option. Now, you have national champions like Bubba Jenkins and Olympians joining MMA teams like draft picks going pro. If Lesnar started training at 22 instead of 30, he'd be an icon.

Sadly though nobody would've cared as much without that wwe stint. He's doomed to this type of speculation forever.what if he ate veggies and his intestines didn't rot? What if he went straight to MMA? What if he could take a punch? IMO, this is a part of Brock's charm.

lol..do intestines rot if you dont eat healthy? Shit im screwed too then :(

Fancy Hendo's chances against JDS more than him vs Jones/Shad.

Ill drool over Hendo vs. any of those 3

I hope he stuns everyone with some sort of foulproof excuse.

Really doubt it for.

Come on Overeem, I wanna seeeee youuu :(

Speaking of Brock, I'm kind of interested in seeing the PPV buys between the upcoming WWE PPV and UFC 145 just to see if the Brock factor works for WWE.

It will be interesting. There was definitely crossover from WWE to UFC when Brock came over, but I don't necessarily think that there is crossover from UFC to WWE. They might get some "old fans" back who love Brock, but most hardcore MMA guys resent Brock's success because of his WWE background and those are unlikely to start watching WWE.

HENDOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I think most of the Just BLEED MMA fans are 'happy' that Brock has gone. It's ass backwards, I KNOW!

Why arent steroids allowed tho?

U can eat protein supplements and stuff and its okay but u cant use steroids?

Why not let everyone use steroids and see who wins? It wont be an unfair advantage if everyone uses them.

stfu

Jura fails TPWW drug test. Has testosterone levels of 1 pre-pubescent girl.

What about pushing the boundaries of human potential? What about taking pride in accomplishing something great under your own power?

What about $$$ from being a box office draw from being a freak who bashes people's faces in.

Yeah but why not push those boundaries even further with chemical help ?

When was Josh Barnett's last big payday? The guy has the tools to be a top contender in the UFC but can't get licensed in a lot of states because of roids.

Isnt Hendo technically the "top" guy now since he mauled Fedor?
