As much fun as it’s been for fans to rally behind Mark Hunt or fantasize about the sight of a certain Russian in the Octagon, once May 26 rolls around, chances are we’ll be right back where the speculation started — meaning, with Mir.
Am I calling White a liar? Not exactly. What, then, did that tweet mean exactly?
Clearly, White is not in the wrong for saying what he did. Seems like a rather large majority agrees with him. It does the UFC no good, though, at this time. Watch. It’s unlikely White, or any other UFC spokesman, says anything negative regarding Overeem until after the hearing.
So, it’s possible that by saying, No, the most obvious choice to replace Overeem — Mir — isn’t being considered, is actually an attempt to say, Well, hopefully no replacement will be necessary at all.
