Alistair Overeem and Travis Browne are set to meet this Saturday at the inaugural UFC on Fox Sports 1 fight card. The matchup is between the No. 5-ranked and No. 8-ranked heavyweight respectively.
The winner will move in to title contention, and that is a big reason why this fight is the co-main event of the evening.
Travis Browne rebounded from his only professional loss, to Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva, with an impressive KO over Gabriel Gonzaga at The Ultimate Fighter 17 finale. The win moved his record to 14-1-1, and garnered him the Knockout of the Night bonus.
Overeem will be returning to action for the first time since his loss to Silva at UFC 156. This is his chance to lay claim to a title shot with an impressive win.
With a lot riding on this fight, each man will look to throw heavy leather in order to win by KO. Here is your breakdown of the big heavyweight showdown.
