Alistair Overeem: Cain Velasquez just lost, hasn't won since 2013 -- why is he ranked No. 2?

Who gets the next crack at the heavyweight crown?

Top Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) contender Alistair Overeem could be the one to challenge newly-minted 265-pound titleholder Stipe Miocic, who toppled Fabricio Werdum in the UFC 198 pay-per-view (PPV) main event last weekend in Brazil.

But Cain Velasquez will undoubtedly be a front runner as well, assuming the former heavyweight champ can get through Travis Browne at the UFC 200 extravaganza in July (details). A win over "Hapa" would solidify his spot at No. 2 in the division rankings.
