If all goes according to plan for Alistair Overeem, the lone remaining void in his already supersized trophy case will soon be filled.
Overeem cleared perhaps the final obstacle standing between him and a crack at the Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight crown, as he smashed through Andrei Arlovski in the UFC Fight Night 87 main event on Sunday at Ahoy Rotterdam in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The former Dream and Strikeforce champion sewed up his fourth consecutive victory 72 seconds into the second round, burying Arlovski with a flying front kick, left hook and follow-up punches before a partisan crowd.
