Performance-enhancing drugs are becoming more and more common in sports.  We aren’t
talking about creatine either.  Not too long ago, it was Human Growth Hormone, and
now Testosterone Therapy is the rage.  It’s been almost a week since Alistair Overeem’s
failed drug test became public knowledge.  It will be interesting to see what becomes
of this.  His hearing is set for April 24th, so that gives us another couple of weeks to
discuss “what ifs”.  This has been a shock sent throughout MMA, and what have we learned?  The Heavyweight Division
of the UFC is just as important as it is in boxing.  There has to be a solution found through
all of this.  I guess the question becomes, if another opponent has to be chosen, who will it
be?  Josh Barnett would be the obvious choice based on his fight results and rankings.  The
problem with Barnett is the fact that he has failed more than one drug test.  Wouldn’t it be
insane if Daniel Cormier was to get the title shot? IF he defeated Jr Dos Santos,would that
be unthinkable?  I’m by no means saying Strikeforce Heavyweight Daniel Cormier should be the
choice, but it wouldn’t lack intrigue for sure. If you stay in the UFC, Frank Mir or Fabricio Werdum, become intriguing options. The only thing we know for sure, is that we don’t know anything for sure.
