On Thursday, Dana White announced that the Heavyweight title fight will take place at UFC 146 on May 26, 2012, regardless of Alistair Overeem’s participation.

Rashad Evans stated the following today online:
“I know Jones has tweeted and been doing interviews about me. That’s what happens in big fights and especially this one. But I’m at the point where I’m not really bothered by anything he says.

Dana White quickly issued a statement today regarding Alistair Overeem’s elevated testosterone levels:
“I am beyond pissed about this,” said UFC president Dana White on Wednesday in a conference call with Canadian media that had been scheduled for one week.  “I’m so (expletive) mad right now I can’t even begin … ”  “The worst part is that he sat in front of us and lied to us,” said White, noting that Overeem has been in UFC’s offices meeting

You shouldn’t count “Suga” out against Jon Jones. At least, that’s Dan Henderson’s take on the fight.
