UFC Fight Night 87 results recap: What's next for Alistair Overeem?

Alistair Overeem inched himself closer to his much-desired shot at the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight title with his huge knockout win over Andrei Arlovski in the main event of UFC Fight Night 87 in Rotterdam, Netherlands. He also earned some bragging rights around the Jackson-Winkeljohn MMA gym in Albuquerque, N.M., where both he and "The Pitbull" train together (and not much else).

The impressive victory for Overeem was his fourth in as many fights (watch highlights right here). More important, though, is the fact that "The Reem" has won three of those fights via knockout.
