Alistair Overeem Injured, UFC 160 Fight With Junior dos Santos Postponed

Posted By:   Published in Fight Shows, Fighter Talk

A source close to Overeem is saying the heavyweight recently suffered an undisclosed injury while training. This will sideline him for four-to-five weeks. As a result, Overeem’s camp recently informed the UFC that he will be unable to fight dos Santos at UFC 160 on May 25.


This marks the second time that a planned Overeem vs. dos Santos fight has fallen through. The pair were supposed to meet for the heavyweight belt at UFC 146 last May, however, Overeem was pulled from the fight after failing to receive his license to fight from the Nevada State Athletic Commission after failing a pre-fight drug test. Thank Ariel Helwani for all the info.

Mark Hunt vs Roy Nelson as a replacement for the Co Main Event!

i think it was a smart call on his part; i think he knows he wouldn’t be ready for JDS in May. He probably should apply for TRT cause i heard his test levels are too low at this point. He looked very different physically compared to the lesnar fight in Dec 2011 to when he fought Silva in Feb 2013….

“He is still taking the test either way. I will cut that idiot if he fails this test!
If he misses UFC 160 I’m gonna cut him”

He needs those testosterone injections he got last time he was injured.

If Bigfoot can knock him out then Dos Santos can do it in his sleep. So yeah, back to the drawing board for Overeem. He needs to work on his strike evasion and stop going back into K-1 turtle mode because that doesn’t work for MMA because the gloves aren’t as big

JDS must be relieved, because Alistair was going to walk right through him, after that lost to bigfoot, I know alistair is training hard. A MOTIVATED ALISTAIR= A DANGEROUS ALISTAIR

He shouldn’t apply for TRT. That would be ridiculous. He needs to get back into shape physically and naturally. The old fashioned way.

TRT is tainting this sport. TRT = steroid loophole.

I am bored of the Reem now man…..

Seriously, lets move on.

Sure, great fighter came in with huge hype, fails drug test ( what a suprise ) gets KTFO by Bigfoot, which has let to a crappy rematch with Cain in which he will get demolished.

Grrr

he is just scared, he doesnt wanna get knocked out twice in one year! I always knew he was a fluke. The guy just tries to use his size to win fights but when you have a real fighter on the other end that s*** doesnt work

Well the pay per view draw for UFC 160 just got cut in half. Overeem vs. JDS was the big ticket. Cain vs. Bigfoot not so much. I anyone can get lucky but seriously I’m not paying to watch Cain vs. Bigfoot last fight was not even close

He’s gonna need TRT… He’s abused the drugs so long and as a result, his body stopped producing the hormones naturally which is why is stuff is super low. You could see his bodyfat was noticeably higher than usual
