Junior Dos Santos har uttalat sig för Tatame om Overeems förhöjda testosteronvärden och anser det vara osportsligt om Overeem fuskat och NSAC låter honom tävla. Dock anser han inte att Overeem är hans största utmaning. Läs intervjun här.
“In case it happens, I’ll be glad to fight, but I can say that in case they prove the illegal use of those substances it would disrespectful to the sport and disloyal to me. The amount of testosterone in his body can increase like 30 percent of his strength and aggressiveness, and I heard it from people who really know about this stuff. It would really be unfair, but as a fighter I’ll be ready to fight anyone”, sade Dos Santos till den Brasilianska tidningen ”O Globo”.
“If the Athletic Committee and UFC want to, I’ll fight him. I’m a fighter and I’ll always be there to fight, but it sure is disrespectful to MMA and how serious the sport is. It’s also unfair, it’s unfair to me. I have never used these devices to gain strength. I guess the right thing would be blood-test fighters like it happens on the Olympic Games, and not a urine test, since it’s easier to find those illegal substances. We want to know who really the best one is. It’s not good being the best liar. Being a fake champion and doing many drugs, that’s not a champion. I can say clearly I’m a champ and I never used illegal stratagems to get there. I’m pro harder tests to evaluate if someone did drugs. It must be a clean sport and this surprise tests should happen more often. If Overeem is more aggressive and strong he will handle better my coups and it’s complicated for me. In case I lose, it’s unfair. He won’t have fought better than me, he will have fought on drugs”.
“I guess it’s curious he won three belts and never got caught on a steroid use test and on his second UFC fight he gets caught. He would be a great challenge to me, but my greatest challenge was defeating Cain to get the title. He is the one who would present most danger to me. Overeem would also be a good challenge, but not the biggest one. He lacks conditioning and speed. He scared off new guys, but who knows the fighter he is know he wouldn’t be the toughest guy I’ve fought. We always say our next challenge is the biggest one even so we get better prepared, but I don’t believe Overeem would be mine”.
