Alistair Overeem had a slightly harrowing experience less than a week from his fight at UFC 213.
The Dutch heavyweight posted on his Twitter account on Monday evening that he survived a “huge explosion” next to his hotel room at the Residence Inn in northeast Albuquerque, N.M.
According to a report in the Albuquerque Journal, firefighters found smoke and flames coming from a storage area at the hotel. The fire was contained without any injuries to firefighters or civilians. The cause is currently unknown.
“I heard a big boom,” Overeem told the Journal.
