The UFC is back in Las Vegas for Saturday’s UFC Vegas 18 fight card. A heavyweight matchup between two top-10 ranked competitors — Alistair Overeem and Alexander Volkov — headlines the event.
Overeem hasn’t put together a three-fight winning streak since Stipe Miocic knocked him out in a title fight in 2016. The 40-year-old has three runs of two straight wins since that loss. Overeem enters Saturday’s bout with TKO wins in his past two outings. In May he stopped Walt Harris and then in September he halted Augusto Saki.
Overeem, who has captured various titles throughout his long MMA career, hopes he can add the UFC title to his resume before he retires.
