    I appreciate the amount of work someone like fitch has put in to get to where he is but I just dont like watching the guy fight.

    Ok he doesn t just lie there and do nothing but he's happy to stay in guard, pepper the opponent with shots and not improve his position.

    He doesn't take any risks and his last finish must have been years ago.

    Tate-Rousey was an amazing fight. If you're on the fence about WMMA check out the fight but be warned that it has an arm bending to an unnatural angle... twice.

    Slightly off topic but has there been a decision made about who will replace Overeem against Dos Santos at UFC 146?

    Possibly no one. As it stands he is fighting Dos Santos and has appealed to the State Commission.

    Nothing official to the contrary as of yet. Mir v Velazquez is going ahead as well.

    I had seen on Bas Ruttens twitter that he might still get licensed and I Saw the below information on a MMA news site. The last bit is interesting, but are they likely to grant him a license considering he failed a test?

    • Overeem was supposed to take a drug test in order to get approved for a fighter's license to fight Brock Lesnar on 12/30/11. Overeem missed the drug test, claiming he had to fly to Holland to attend to his sick mother.
    • The Nevada commission granted Overeem a ‘temporary' conditional license to fight Lesnar on December 30th based on the premise that he would be subjected to random urine drug testing and that he would have to go to London to take a drug test immediately so that Quest Diagnostics could examine the sample.
    • Overeem fights Lesnar and wins. He passed the pre-fight and post-fight urine drug tests. His ‘temporary' license expires after December 31st, 2011.
    • Overeem is still stuck in ‘conditional' limbo for licensing and has to continue passing drug tests in order to fight Junior dos Santos on May 26th even though Overeem isn't truly ‘officially' licensed. Overeem fails the ‘random' urine drug test due to elevated levels of testosterone at an estimated 14:1 T/E ratio. Because he's not ‘officially' licensed, he can't be suspended by Nevada but he can't be officially licensed until he applies for a license on April 24th.

    Aye well......every rule and all that!:icon_mrgreen:

    I try to deny it to myself with most of them, as i dont want it to be the case, but there probably are many on the drugs.The higher the rewards, the more likelihood of abuse.:31:
