The first step in Alistair Overeem’s climb back to UFC heavyweight title contention was completed Saturday when he defeated Mark Hunt in the UFC 209 main card opener on pay-per-view.
In a rematch of a 2008 bout under the DREAM banner, Overeem (42-15 MMA, 7-4 UFC) once again bested Hunt (12-12-1 MMA, 7-6-1 UFC). “The Reem” picked up a third-round knockout victory at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, helping him bounce back from a loss to heavyweight champ Stipe Miocic this past year.
