Junior dos Santos vs. Alistair Overeem Title Fight Confirmed for UFC 146 Mar 6, 2012 - After months of speculation, Junior dos Santos' (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122489/junior-dos-santos) first title defense has finally been made official. The UFC's newest heavyweight champion will meet former Strikeforce (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/promotion/strikeforce), DREAM (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/promotion/dream), and K-1 (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/promotion/k-1) beltholder Alistair Overeem (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122499/alistair-overeem) at the main event of UFC 146 (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fight-card/95237/ufc-146), slated for May 26 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. UFC officials confirmed the booking on Tuesday. Tickets for are expected to go on sale later this month. The heavyweight title fight joins a card already highlighted by the return of known UFC commodities Edson Barboza (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122523/edson-barboza), Dan Hardy (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122578/dan-hardy), Diego Brandao (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/141449/diego-brandao), and Jason "Mayhem" Miller (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122597/jason-miller). Dos Santos (14-1) last appeared in the main event of November's UFC on FOX (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fight-card/84361/ufc-on-fox-1-velasquez-vs-dos-santos) debut, where he soundly defeated Cain Velasquez (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122504/cain-velasquez) in just 64 seconds to earn "Knockout of the Night" honors and the UFC heavyweight strap. His victory marked the culmination of a stunning nine fight win streak, eight of which took place under the UFC umbrella and six of which ended in the first round. Throughout that time the 27-year-old dos Santos defeated a who's who of the heavyweight division, including Fabricio Werdum (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122505/fabricio-werdum), Stefan Struve (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122503/stefan-struve), Mirko Cro Cop (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122491/mirko-filipovic), Roy Nelson (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/123062/roy-nelson), and Shane Carwin (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122488/shane-carwin). Likewise, Overeem (36-11, 1 NC) carries his own 12-fight unbeaten streak into the headlining tilt after collecting championships in nearly every other major MMA promotion, often in violent fashion. Before joining the UFC ranks, the 31-year-old Dutch striker ripped through an impressive run in which he finished eight of nine fights within four minutes against the likes of Mark Hunt (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122607/mark-hunt), Gary Goodridge, Brett Rogers (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/129237/brett-rogers), and Todd Duffee (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/128649/todd-duffee). After dropping out of the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix due to lingering injuries, Overeem made his long-awaited UFC debut against Brock Lesnar (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122494/brock-lesnar) last December, needing just two-and-a-half minutes to floor the former champion with a devastating liver kick.

Mar 7, 2012 - Antonio Silva's (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122502/antonio-silva) long-awaited Octagon debut is finally in the books.
Announced Wednesday, "Bigfoot" has agreed to face Roy "Big Country" Nelson (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/123062/roy-nelson) in a heavyweight tilt at UFC 146 (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fight-card/95237/ufc-146), slated for May 26, 2012 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV. UFC officials confirmed the bout via Twitter.
Silva and Nelson join their heavyweight brethren on the Memorial Day weekend card, which is headlined by a mammoth title scrap between Junior dos Santos (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122489/junior-dos-santos) and Alistair Overeem (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122499/alistair-overeem). Notable fan-favorites Dan Hardy (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122578/dan-hardy), Jason "Mayhem" Miller (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122597/jason-miller), Edson Barboza (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122523/edson-barboza), and Diego Brandao (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/141449/diego-brandao) are also among the confirmed participants.
Considered to be one of the top scores of Strikeforce's (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/promotion/strikeforce) heavyweight migration, Silva (16-3) enters the UFC fresh from a roller-coaster run through the promotion's heavyweight grand prix.
"Bigfoot" notched a stunning upset in the tourney's opening round, dominating Fedor Emelianenko (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122490/fedor-emelianenko) en route to a second-round TKO finish and handing the PRIDE legend just his second loss in over a decade. However Silva's victory would be short-lived, as he then fell victim to an overhand right from injury-replacement Daniel Cormier (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/128882/daniel-cormier) early in their semi-final match.
Likewise, Nelson (16-7) hopes to rebound after dropping a ‘Fight of the Night' decision loss to Fabricio Werdum (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122505/fabricio-werdum) last month. Following the setback, the 35-year-old former TUF winner has now lost three of his last four contests to top opponents, with his only win coming in a three-round war that would prove to be Mirko Cro Cop's (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122491/mirko-filipovic) final MMA match.
Though despite his struggles, "Big Country" has gained recent notoriety for an online bet he made with the mixed martial arts community, in which he pledged to drop to light heavyweight if he gained 100,000 Facebook ‘likes' within two weeks. Just days into the wager, Nelson is already approaching his mark, so it remains to be seen if UFC 146 will be his final bout at heavyweight.

Mar 7, 2012 - UFC 146 (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fight-card/95237/ufc-146) already boasts a UFC heavyweight championship match, and now it will determine the No. 1 contender, too.
A long-rumored bout between Frank Mir (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122495/frank-mir) and Cain Velasquez (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122504/cain-velasquez) has finally been agreed to, and according to FoxSports.com (http://msn.foxsports.com/ufc/story/Frank-Mir-Cain-Velasquez-UFC-146-030712), the victor will face the winner of the night's main event pitting Junior dos Santos against Alistair Overeem (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122499/alistair-overeem).
Mir (16-5) will walk into the octagon with the more momentum of the pair, riding a three-fight win streak. In his most recent bout, he earned a technical submission win over Antonio Rodrigo Noegueira at 140. Prior to that he had wins over Roy Nelson (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/123062/roy-nelson) and Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic.
Velasquez, meanwhile, will be hoping to rebound from his first career loss, dropping the belt to dos Santos at UFC on FOX 1 last November.
The early line on the fight has Velasquez as a 4-to-1 favorite, likely because his wrestling should allow him to determine the location of the fight, thereby limiting Mir's submission opportunities.
UFC 146 takes place on May 26 in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Aside from the two aforementioned bouts, other fights include Roy Nelson vs. Antonio Silva (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122502/antonio-silva), Jason "Mayhem" Miller (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122597/jason-miller) vs. C.B. Dollaway (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fighter/122553/c-b-dollaway) and Dan Hardy vs. Duane Ludwig (http://www.sbnation.com/mma/fight/1647/ufc-146-dan-hardy-vs-duane-ludwig).
