Alistair Overeem Plans to Test Free-Agent Market Following UFC on Fox 17

With capable heavyweights in short supply these days, Alistair Overeem could be in high demand following UFC on Fox 17.

According to a report from UFC Tonight, Overeem’s current contract with the UFC will expire after he faces Junior dos Santos in Saturday’s co-headliner at the Amway Center in Orlando. The Dutchman then plans to explore his options in free agency once his deal with the Las Vegas-based promotion is fulfilled.

Overeem has won three of his last four fights in the Octagon, including back-to-back triumphs over Roy Nelson and Stefan Struve in his last two outings.
