NSAC Executive Director Keith Kizer recently told the MMA Show that Overeem’s hearing in front of the Commission will take place on April 24, where they will determine whether or not to license him for the fight. As it turns out, that’s the reason Dana White has yet to make a decision on a replacement opponent for dos Santos.
The Wrestling Observer reports that White told them no decision will be made prior to Overeem’s hearing. He did reiterate, however, that a heavyweight championship fight will take place at UFC 146, no matter what.
That almost makes it sound as though UFC is hoping “The Reem” has a damn good explanation and ultimately is granted a license and the fight goes ahead as first planned. That seems like a long shot, but crazier things have happened in this game.
