För närvarande kvarstår osäkerheten kring vem tungviktsmästare Junior Dos Santos ska möta på UFC 146 utifrån att Alistair Overeem lämnat ett prov med förhöjt tetstosteronvärde vid en provtagnings utförd av den atletiska kommissionen i Nevada. Medan Dos Santos väntar på svar gällande vem han ska möta den 26 maj passar han på att utdela en känga till Overeem.
”In case it happens, I’ll be glad to fight, but I can say that in case they prove the illegal use of those substances it would disrespectful to the sport and disloyal to me. The amount of testosterone in his body can increase like 30 percent of his strength and aggressiveness, and I heard it from people who really know about this stuff. It would really be unfair, but as a fighter I’ll be ready to fight anyone”, säger Dos Santos till brasilianska tidningen ”O Globo” (via Tateme).
“If the Athletic Committee and UFC want to, I’ll fight him. I’m a fighter and I’ll always be there to fight, but it sure is disrespectful to MMA and how serious the sport is. It’s also unfair, it’s unfair to me. I have never used these devices to gain strength. I guess the right thing would be blood-test fighters like it happens on the Olympic Games, and not a urine test, since it’s easier to find those illegal substances. We want to know who really the best one is. It’s not good being the best liar. Being a fake champion and doing many drugs, that’s not a champion. I can say clearly I’m a champ and I never used illegal stratagems to get there. I’m pro harder tests to evaluate if someone did drugs. It must be a clean sport and this surprise tests should happen more often. If Overeem is more aggressive and strong he will handle better my coups and it’s complicated for me. In case I lose, it’s unfair. He won’t have fought better than me, he will have fought on drugs”.
Nu återstår det att vänta på att Overeem träffar den atletiska kommissionen i Nevada den 24 april och därefter lär det komma svar på vem som kommer utmana ”Cigano” om tungviktstiteln.
