Both Overeem and Volkov sit just outside those in the title picture. With Stipe Miocic and Francis Ngannou set to fight soon and Jon Jones presumably waiting on the winner, the title picture is kind of determined for the near future.
That means Overeem's odds of fighting for the title again are deteriorating quickly. At 40, he's already a much different fighter than the one who once melted Brock Lesnar in his UFC debut.
But with his age has come wisdom. The Reem has made the transition from a knockout-seeking power puncher to a more measured, technical approach that often sees Overeem picking apart opponents from the outside.
