Alistair Overeem will get his day in front of the Nevada State Athletic Commission next week, but UFC officials aren’t waiting around.
UFC president Dana White announced late Friday night that Overeem has been pulled from the main event of UFC 146, and Frank Mir will now face Junior Dos Santos for the UFC heavyweight title.
Mir was originally expected to face Cain Velasquez. White did not immediately reveal if Velasquez will receive a new opponent.
