I wanted Overeem to win until it became clear he is most likely hardcore juicing. I understand why Dana and Las Vegas Commission have to look the other way since pulling the plug on this fight would be disastrous but it is still rofl:

The Alistair Overeem vs. Brock Lesnar fight on December 30th in Las Vegas is on as a result of the steroid test Overeem took on December 14th in the UK coming back clean. It should be noted that the urine test that he took on December 7th, twenty days after it was requested on November 17th, ended up being destroyed untested. No explanation was given for this, though Overeem did provide a note from his doctor claiming that a sample that was not tested within 24 hours was useless, and for whatever reason his sample wasn't tested within 24 hours, and so, thus being useless, it was destroyed. This explanation, along with the clean test taken 27 days after it was requested, was sufficient for the Nevada State Athletic Commission to license Overeem to fight.
Should be getting more run in the news but I have only heard about it on two small MMA podcasts.
