Overeem has beaten the who’s who of the sport. Having traveled the world, he arrived in the UFC for his 47th professional fight and ended former Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar in the first round. Their clash served as the main event of UFC 141. 

Also, he has beaten the likes of Frank Mir, Andrei Arlovski, and Junior dos Santos. All of these fighters have held the UFC Heavyweight strap in the past. 

‘The Demolition Man’ did have a crack at the title himself on the back of a 4 fight win streak. However, he failed to unseat Stipe Miocic and went down via a first-round TKO at UFC 203. 

Since that fight, Overeem has beaten Mark Hunt, Fabricio Werdum, Sergei Pavlovich, Alexey Oleynik, and Walt Harris. The three defeats in this period have come against fighters who sit above him in the rankings. These are 2nd ranked Francis Ngannou, 3rd ranked Curtis Blaydes and 6th ranked Jairzinho Rozenstruik. 

The aforementioned trio will be the massive roadblock between ‘The Demolition Man’ and his dream. Besides, 4th ranked Derrick Lewis too may have a say in the Heavyweight picture. 

All in all for ‘The Demolition Man’ to get a title shot, he will have to string together a phenomenal run to propel himself up the rankings. 

Can Alistair Overeem have one more title run and his first in the UFC?
