LAS VEGAS – For now, at least, former Strikeforce champion Alistair Overeem will face Brock Lesnar in the main
event of December’s UFC 141 event.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission today granted Overeem a conditional
license to face Lesnar on Dec. 30, subject to a pre-fight drug test to
be submitted in Europe within the next 72 hours, as well as an
additional screen submitted in the U.S. when the Dutch heavyweight
arrives for the contest.
Overeem’s conditional license also includes two post-fight drug screen
orders, to be completed less than six months after the bout.
