Fertitta: Champ Dos Santos vs. Overeem targeted for UFC 146 in Las Vegas
by MMAjunkie.com Staff on Feb 10, 2012 at 8:50 am ET
UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos (14-1 MMA, 8-0 UFC) will likely make his first title defense on May 26 in Las Vegas.

That's according to UFC co-owner Lorenzo Fertitta, who made the announcement overnight in a rare extended session of Twitter chat with fans

JDS gonna whip Overeem.

I'm drinking the kool aid. He has a good chin, as good if not better cardio than REEM, just as much power and speed striking and the ability to stay on his feet.

Of course, this may be just like the Fox fight....first guy to land a big punch in the right spot will win.

Cigano has faster hands than Reem, but I'd give the edge in power to 'Reem. The difference in punching power is negligible, but Overeem's knees are absolutely deadly.

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Eh...I got the 'Reem, because, that's the way the UFC heavyweight division has been for years now. Guy looks like he's the top dog, only to lose shortly after winning the title.

Alistair Overeem is a BUM.

Overeem's title shot set for May. Better send him drug test notice now so he has time to get it done before the fight.

Alistair Overeem is a BUM, sir. Him winning the UFC Heavyweight title does nothing to disprove this. He'll lose his next match to Roy Nelson or some shit and be back to curtain jerking for Jim Miller.

Brock held the title and he's a dancing bum.

You're silly. Dos Santos has good speed and power but his striking is sloppy. Reem's striking is much tighter and he will take advantage of Dos Santos winging punches with dropped hands.

I think this will be an absolute battle, but, I give the edge to Alistair.

Overeem has massive advantage in kicks. If he so felt he could keep JDP at bay until he was in the mood to engage. Only thing is Overeem doesnt mind taking shots to get his in. Willfully taking a JDS shot may not be a good idea. If Brock and Werhandsofdoom can tag Overeem JDS can.

BJ wife is a dime.

Rumor is THE REEM is now a Blackzillian

To be fair, he pretty much walked straight forward with his hands down because he didn't respect either of their standup.
