Overeem Fails Drug Test

In what should come as a shock to no one, Alistair Overeem (36-11 MMA, 1-0 UFC) failed a pre-fight drug test in preperation for his once upcoming title fight versus Junior Dos Santos(14-1 MMA, 8-0 UFC).

Here is the information regarding the failed test from Nevada State Athletic Commission Executive Director Keith Kizer:

"Overeem's "A" sample was flagged for an elevated T/E ratio that exeeded 10-to-1, well over the 6-to-1 limit. The heavyweight has the right to request the test's "B" sample, which, if negative, would make him eligible to receive a fight license."
Dos Santos, Frank Mir, Cain Velasquez, Roy Nelson and Antonio Silva all passed their tests.


Does Mir step in now?

Stay tuned as story continues to unfold.
