Come on Dana

 Alistair Overeem recently failed a drug test forcing him out of UFC 146 title fight against UFC heavy weight champion Junior dos Santos. Former champions Frank Mir and Cain Velasquez are fighting each other on the same card to see who would get the next title shot. Logic would say since Mir is a top contender and is on a winning streak he should take Overeem’s place and fight for the title. UFC president Dana White has confirmed the Mir- Velasquez will go on as planned. This is a huge problem because no other fight makes sense. No other contender has beaten the quality of fighters Mir has. To have a lesser fighter leapfrog over Mir isn’t fair to him or to Dos Santos who faces the possibility being called a paper champion because of White’s decision not to let the best fighter fight.
