If Alistair Overeem receives another opportunity to challenge for the UFC heavyweight title and the belt remains around the waist of Junior dos Santos, the title shot will come with a request.

“I would like him to do a test — a blood test,” dos Santos said of the 32-year-old Dutchman. “I think we both need to do that. I want a clean fight and he needs to prove he is not under any kind of substances.”

“Using drugs is completely unnecessary, and I am the living proof,” he said. “I’m the champion, and I never used any kind of forbidden substances.
