Saturday night will see the long-awaited return of UFC heavyweight Alistair Overeem after he serves out his nine-month suspension for failing a drug test.
His opponent, Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva recently ended his two-fight losing streak with an emphatic first-round KO of much-fancied heavyweight Travis Browne.
However, for Overeem, the Brazilian is just one stepping stone to a title-shot which was destined to be his.
The Dutch fighter had already secured the number one contender’s spot last year after defeating Brock Lesnar in his UFC debut and was all set to take on Junior Dos Santos for the belt before he got popped for using steroids.
But rather than wait to face champion Cain Velasquez, who only just won the title at the end of December, Overeem has decided to take on former Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix semifinalist, Silva.
Here’s how the two fighters break down head to toe.
