Duzza Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt. He says he can prove that he is clean, I really hope he can. Been a fan of his for such a long time, theres still too many amazing fights for Overeem to have in the UFC. That's exactly how I feel about it. Been a fan of his for as long as I've watched mma, really hope he can prove it. If it was a prescribed medicine then it should be easy enough to prove. Yep Eddie. Did you watch Bellator this past Friday? He had his rematch with Shinya Aoki, was over pretty quick. Aoki needs to move to the US if he wants to improve, and become accustomed to fighting in the cage. His stand up game is abysmal. Yeah saw the fight, Eddie is a beast, I read somewhere that he and Hector Lombard will be coming to the UFC sooner or later, which is cool. Didn't know he was with blackzillians though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
