Alistair Overeem is now on the cusp of the biggest moment of his career as he takes on former UFC champion Brock Lesnar later this month.
Early on in his career, Overeem was thought to be a top prospect in the 205-pound class and while he would fare well early against formidable opposition, he would tire and fatigue in later rounds, succumbing to many stoppages throughout his career.
However, since transitioning to the heavyweight class, the Dutchman has looked every bit as unstoppable as he’s become. Now, he resides as a top contender in the UFC and could earn his place as the No. 1 fighter in the division, thanks to his new found dedication that has resurrected his career.
