No.3 Alistair Overeem will be looking to cement his place as number one contender for the heavyweight title when he takes on No.5 Andrei Arlovski. Join The Roar from 4am AEST for live round-by-round updates.
After an inconsistent and disappointing return to the octagon in 2013, Alistair Overeem is finally starting to look like his old, dangerous self.
Overeem is coming off three straight wins, which were all done in dominating fashion.
No win was sweeter than his last, where ‘The Reem’ knocked out former heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos in the second round.
A fourth win in a row would put Overeem in prime position for a shot at UFC gold.
After having his incredible four-fight win streak snapped by Stipe Miocic in his last bout, Andrei Arlovski will be desperate to prove he still has what it takes to make another run at the title.
Arlovski was coming off big wins over Brendan Schaub, Antonio Silva, Travis Browne and Frank Mir before his devastating loss to Miocic.
Arlovski is one of the most durable fighters in the heavyweight division, and can take a tremendous amount of punishment yet still overcome to win fights.
However, Overeem has proven to be evasive, waiting until the right moment before pulling the trigger and ending fights.
