After knocking out Andrei Arlovski in the main event of UFC Fight Night 87 Sunday in Rotterdam, the kickboxing specialist has won four straight inside the UFC Octagon. His back-to-back knockouts of former heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos and Arlovski create a strong case for a title shot.
While the heavyweight strap is put on the line May 14 at UFC 198 when champion Fabricio Werdum faces Stipe Miocic, Overeem feels it's only a matter of time before he feels the weight of that belt around his own waist.
