Junior dos Santos: 'I hope Alistair Overeem doesn't fail his drug test this time'

It's understandable if Junior dos Santos is pessimistic.

After all, this is the third time Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has tried to pair him with Alistair Overeem. The first time, at UFC 146, the Dutchman failed a surprise drug test and got his license pulled for nine months. Then "Demolition Man" suffered a "slight" injury ahead of UFC 160 and was forced to withdraw.

Third time is the charm?

"I don't choose opponents, but I'm not gonna lie -- it will feel great to shut this guy up," Dos Santos said on his official Instagram account (via MMA Fighting).
