Alistair Overeem will battle submission artist Alexey Oleinik in the main event of this weekend’s (Sat., April 20, 2019) UFC on ESPN+ 7 from Yubileyny Sports Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia.
“The Reem” has fought a long list of top heavyweight talent during his decorated nearly 20-year MMA career. One of his biggest wins came in his UFC debut at UFC 141 back in 2011. There, Overeem met ultra-popular former UFC heavyweight champion
The former Strikeforce, DREAM, and K-1 champion made it look easy against the once-feared beast Lesnar. The UFC champ was returning from a harrowing bout with diverticulitis and it showed. Overeem made short work of the former UFC champ by targeting his body to finish the fight in the first round.
