The big boys are back, Alistair Overeem returns to the Octagon after his TKO victory over Walt Harris in May. After being dropped in the first round, Overeem rallied to take control of the fight and finish ‘The Big Ticket’ with striked in round two. Overeem has won three of his most recent four outings, meaning if he walks away as a winner on this event, he’ll be eyeing off another climb to the top, and a potential title challenge.
His opponent, Augusto Saki is still relatively new, with this event to mark his first, main event in the UFC. Undefeated in the promotion, Sakai has already gone through Chase Sherman, Andrei Arlovski, Marcin Tybura and Blagoy Ivanoc since joining the UFC in mid-2019.
The two fighters have never faced off before, but many are already excited for what the two men will be able to produce, with Saki touted as being a rising star, and Overeem in arguably the best form he’s ever been.
Also on the cards in a bantamweight bout between Nicco Montano and Julia Avila, and a flyweight between Montana De La Rosa and Maryna Moroz.
