what happened to Overeem testing positive for banned substances?
has he been sanctioned yet or cleared his name?

Rory MacDonald is the future of MMA, remember his name if you don't know it yet. I think he's going to annihilate Penn when they fight next and someday be the king of the WW division.
My favorite fighters have to be MacDonald, Nick Diaz, Nate Diaz, Gilbert Melendez, Shogun Rua, Vitor Belfort, Alistair Overeem, Ronda Rousey , Roger Gracie, and Joseph Benavidez.
Royce Gracie and Mark Kerr (in his prime) are what really got me into the sport. Kerr was the reason I wrestled in school and I still grapple til' this day.
Yeah, Rory looks mighty interesting indeed. However beating BJ won't be much of a feat these days, sadly. He's about as has-been as they get, and has just 1 win in his last 5 matches.
Frankie Edgar has just, as expected, announced that he's dropping down to FW. He'll have to get at least one win before he gets a shot against Aldo though... Aldo will destroy him by then.
I feel bad for Edgar. He really didn't deserve that last loss against Bendo.
I thought Benson won the first fight and that Edgar won the second fight 3-2.
I think Edgar poses some problems for Aldo @ 145. Very intriguing match-up that I can see Edgar winning if he employs the right strategy.
I completely agree on Bendo winning the first and Edgar edging the rematch.
However perhaps I'm overestimating Aldo a bit, but he's been looking downright scary in just about every UFC fight of his, while Edgar himself have had plenty trouble lately, both against Gray Maynard and of course Bendo. Moving down a division though, should do him a world of good.
Oh boy...so Dan Henderson is injured and had to pull out of ufc 151. No replacement could be found besides Chael Sonnen. In one of the biggest dick moves in UFC history Jones and his camp refused the fight even though Sonnen was taking it on such short notice. For the first time in it's history a UFC event has been canceled. Dana White is furious and really blasted Jones and the Jackson camp. The fighters themselves are pissed as well. Jone just cost about 20 fighters their paychecks and nobody knows what to do.
