UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Harris ended a triumphant return week for the UFC who hosted three fight cards within the space of seven days. At the top of the card, Alistair Overeem and Walt Harris went to war. Both men had their moments but the Dutch knockout artist ultimately got the finish inside two rounds. Elsewhere on the card, we had three very controversial decisions that had MMA fans fiercely debating online.
In the co-main event, Cláudia Gadelha got the split decision win over Angela Hill who had looked better than ever and seemed a worthy winner in the fight for some people. Prior to that Edson Barboza made an unsuccessful featherweight debut as Dan Ige picked up a split decision win in another fight which had questionable judging. Top prospect Song Yadong and Marlon Vera put it all on the line over three rounds to open up the main card. This Fight of the Night became consumed in controversy after the judges awarded the 22-year-old Chinese fighter the win via unanimous decision.

The LowKickMMA preview show is back once again ahead of UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Harris which will go down at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida this Saturday night. In the main event, heavyweight legend Alistair Overeem will be looking to get back to winning way against Walt Harris who fights for the first time since losing his daughter last year.
Walt Harris Is A Worthy Favorite Over Alistair Overeem
According to SportsBettingDime.com Walt Harris is a deserving -160 favorite over Alistair Overeem. While he’s already 36, the relative late-comer to the fight game is arguably getting better with every fight. The 39-year-old Overeem, on the other hand, is just 3-3 since 2016 and nearly a decade removed from his career-best 12-fight unbeaten streak. Look for the hyper-athletic Harris – formerly an elite level basketball player who earned NBA tryouts – to come in with a finely-crafted gameplan that capitalizes on the numerous holes that have opened in the Dutchman’s game over the last few years.
