Alistair Overeem gunning for bout with 'gatekeeper' Junior dos Santos
Colossal UFC heavyweight contender Alistair Overeem is eyeing a matchup with former champion Junior dos Santos.
It seems Alistair Overeem may have finally found his footing in the UFC after dominant consecutive wins over Stefan Struve and Roy Nelson. 'The Reem' s surging hype after his collaboration with the UFC in 2011 went down like a lead balloon after the brooding heavyweight was dismantled by Antonio Silva and Travis Browne in two back-to-back losses. The former K-1 champ was also toppled by Ben Rothwell in 2014, but 'The Demolition Man' has rekindled a spark of championship hope with his recent Octagon victories.
