Alistair Overeem lacks little in terms of career accomplishments, though an Ultimate Fighting Championship title has thus far eluded his grasp.

The 40-year-old Dutchman will once again attempt to defend the heavyweight division’s old guard when he meets Augusto Sakai in the UFC Fight Night 176 headliner on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Overeem has rattled off three wins across his past four appearances, a Hail Mary knockout loss to Jairzinho Rozenstruik his only misstep.
