Mir or Cain.

Mir very quickly set the bandwagon off:

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.

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.

I think it's funny that people posting here think that Brock would of gotten a shot here. 0% chance it was going to Brock after 2 losses
Mir is prob going to get it. He'll be replaced with Werdum or Silva vrs Cain.
Also no chance Hunt is getting it either

He is a cheat now (according to the 'A' sample at least), he wasn't a cheat then.

Yeah no chance Hunt will get it. But UFC have given shots to fighters before who don't deserve it like Machida comes to mind, he beat Couture but before that lost to Shogun(some would say twice) & Rampage before that. UFC wouldn't say no to another Lesnar pay day if they had a opportunity like this where a fighter who won a no.1 contender fight was caught cheating.

His career over the past number of years needs to be called into question.

Overeem is on another level when it comes to drug testing.

Just because he got caught for cheating now doesn't necessarily mean that he's always been cheating (not to say it hasn't either iykwim).

It's unfortunate, but hopefully it'll shock a few people into 1) Not starting on PEDs and 2) Making people currently on PEDs realise that they're not invincible

Will Fedor fight former WWE star?



MMAjunkie.com is reporting that Bobby Lashley is under consideration to fight Fedor Emelianenko on 6/21 in St. Petersburg, Russia on an M-1 Global event.

Lashley has been talked about for Emelianenko in the past, including being under consideration to face him on the Affliction show that ended up not happening when Josh Barnett failed his steroid test a few years back.
Fair ****s to him but yep Bobby is going to get mauled

I hope Lashley's improved b/c the fights i've seen he's had a rough enough time with supposed tin cans. I'm sure the payoff will be great though so it's all gravy.

He tested fine both before and after the fight. I'm not saying he wasn't using at the time.
But that result is staying as a loss. He looked so poor that claiming it wasn't a loss would be embarrassing.

Machida got the shot as Evans was out and there was nobody else availible.
He was still one of the better LHWs regardless of his losses.
