Frank Mir: Alistair Overeem deserves a second chance

"I believe so. I think this is the first time that he's ever come up positive at tests, as far as I'm aware of. It seems like he had a viable explanation for what happened. Everybody makes mistakes. We all do things that we're not proud of. We've all made mistakes professionally or in our personal life that are not our greatest moments in life. To sit there and ostracize somebody and never allow them to redeem themselves, I think would be very against humanity and our overall impression that I try to carry as a person. Everybody deserves opportunities. You know, he goes out there and he follows all the stringent testing the athletic commission is probably gonna put ahead of him and all the hoops he's gonna have to jump through. As long as he does those things, then yeah, I'll see him back in there. He's a fierce competitor. We've seen what he did with Brock (Lesnar). I'd hate to lose him and not have him in the Octagon or as a competitor in the heavyweight division, due to something outside the Octagon."
