Alistair Overeem Wants December Title Fight



Alistair Overeem, who was the first victim of the random drug testing policy that was put into place by the Nevada athletic commission, says he plans to fight on the UFC's December card for the title against Junior Dos Santos.  He said he knows he will not be promoted for the card until he is licensed so he hopes to get his license early.

It will be interesting to see if things work out the way he plans or not.  The problem I see is that even if he gets his license and the title shot in December, he will have been off for a whole year.  Since he already failed a random drug test and has set out so long he should have to fight someone else (Velasquez or Werdum) before getting the title shot.  At the same time, JDS doesn't really have anyone to fight right now that he hasn't already beat before.  I guess we will see what happens come December.
