Alistair Overeem: 'I Guarantee That' A Rematch With Ngannou Would Go Differently

Alistair Overeem may have righted the ship in Beijing last weekend, returning to the win column after two straight setbacks, but he is still looking to get at least one of those losses back.

“The Reem,” arguably the most decorated striker in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, notched an emphatic first-round TKO victory over previously undefeated Sergei Pavlovich at UFC Fight Night 141. Before toppling the undefeated Russian, Overeem had been on a two-fight skid, losing to Francis Ngannou by knockout last December and to his now-teammate Curtis Blaydes in a blood-spattered ground-and-pound TKO in June.
