CURITIBA, Brazil – Alistair Overeem finished Andrei Arlovski last Sunday in Rotterdam, and could be next in line for a shot at the UFC heavyweight championship.
Fabricio Werdum, who defends the belt at Saturday’s UFC 198 event in Curitiba, Brazil, against Stipe Miocic, congratulates Overeem for his impressive finish in the Netherlands.
"I thought it was a good win," Werdum told the media in Curitiba. "Overeem is really smart when he’s fighting, had the patience to wait for the right moment. His technical kick surprised everyone, like Lyoto Machida (versus Randy Couture).
