Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight contender Alistair Overeem tested positive for elevated levels of testosterone, putting his scheduled May 26 title bout against champion Junior dos Santos at the MGM Grand Garden in jeopardy.
An attorney for UFC standout Nick Diaz said the fighter shouldn’t face disciplinary action from the Nevada Athletic Commission. The NAC put in motion a complaint when a postfight urine test — submitted after Diaz lost a UFC interim welterweight title bout to Carlos Condit at Mandalay Bay in February — indicated the presence of marijuana metabolites.
