Alistair Overeem: “I’m all natural Junior… and I am coming for you”
UFC heavyweight contender, Alistair Overeem has today revealed how he’s taking a drug test in an attempt to build confidence with the Nevada State Athletic Commission, as well as making it clear to current champion, Junior dos Santos, that he’s coming to get him once he’s cleared for a return to action.
Posting via his Twitter page, Overeem said:
“I’m doing a drug test today to build confidence with the Nevada state athletic commission and because I respect and appreciate the UFC and to let junior know I am a clean fighter, I’m all natural Junior… and I am coming for you.”
Overeem was due to face Junior dos Santos for the title last month at UFC 146 but was pulled from the fight after his T:E ratio was as high as 14:1. The Nevada State Athletic Commission didn’t take kindly to being lied to in the past by “The Reem” but did reduce the normal one-year term to nine months after great deliberation.
