Alistair Overeem (41-14-1) may very well have earned himself a shot at the UFC Heavyweight title after a huge victory at UFC Fight Night 87 earlier today (Sun. May 8, 2016) in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
Overeem, 35, finished Andrei Arlovski (25-12 1NC) by technical knockout in the first round inside Ahoy Rotterdam, much to the delight of the hometown Netherlands fans. The win was the Dutch fighter's fourth in a row, defeating Junior dos Santos, Roy Nelson and Stefan Struve in his last three fights.
"We are going to get that belt in November, November 12 in Madison Square Garden," Overeem told Jon Anik after the bout.
