Fertitta: Champ Dos Santos vs. Overeem targeted for UFC 146 in Las Vegas
|
UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos will likely make his first title defense on May 26 in Las Vegas.
That's according to UFC co-owner Lorenzo Fertitta, who made the
announcement overnight in a rare extended session of Twitter chat with
fans.
Dos Santos is scheduled to face former Strikeforce champ Alistair
Overeem, who earned the shot with a recent win over
former UFC champ Brock Lesnar.

Mike Dolce-fueled Thiago Alves looks to further mounting title run at UFC on FX 2
|
Thiago Alves had his chance and blew it.
Regardless, there was no shame in losing a unanimous decision at UFC 100
to Georges St-Pierre in his only career title fight. If you've been in
the 170-pound fray for as long as "Pitbull" has, chances are you've lost
to the Canadian kingpin, too.
So with St-Pierre currently idle and interim champion Carlos Condit
patiently waiting, the rest are free to jockey for position and string
together title runs.

NSAC: Diaz hearing possible for April, past multiple offenders issued yearlong suspension
|
The Nevada State Athletic Commission is likely to hear the case of Nick
Diaz sometime in April, according to NSAC Executive Director Keith
Kizer.
For now, Diaz is temporarily suspended following a disciplinary
complaint filed by the NSAC to the Nevada Attorney General that states
the fighter broke rule 467.850 of the commission's administrative code
when he tested positive for marijuana metabolites following UFC 143.
At the NSAC's next meeting on Feb. 22, Kizer will ask the commission to
uphold the temporary suspension until the formal hearing in April, where
Diaz is expected to answer to the complaint.
