Alistair Overeem vs. Walt Harris headlines UFC Portland; several more fights announced

A heavyweight fight between Alistair Overeem and Walt Harris is scheduled to headline the upcoming UFC Fight Night card in Portland, Ore. on April 11.

The UFC announced the main event along with several more fights via Oregon Live.

The matchup was originally scheduled this past December but Harris fell out of the fight after his stepdaughter Aniah Blanchard, 19, went missing in Alabama in October 2019.

Tragically, Blanchard’s remains were found a month later with an autopsy confirming she was killed as a result of a gunshot wound. A man named Ibraheem Yazeed was later arrested and charged with Blanchard’s murder.
