A heavyweight showdown between Alistair Overeem and Walt Harris has been booked for the UFC’s upcoming return to Washington D.C. on Dec. 7.
UFC officials announced the matchup on Wednesday following an initial report from ESPN. The heavyweight fight is expected to serve as the main event on the card.
After suffering back-to-back knockout losses, Overeem has bounced back with a pair of knockout wins over Sergey Pavlovich and Aleksei Oleinik in his most recent fights in the UFC.
The former Strikeforce heavyweight champion has been a perennial contender throughout his UFC career and now he’ll look to build momentum with a fight against another powerful knockout artist in December.
