Overeem is regarded as one of the most well-rounded heavyweights in the UFC, known for both his powerful leg strikes paired with excellent grappling skills when taking foes to the mat.

Overeem’s opponent is Augusto Sakai, a relative newcomer to the UFC. The 29-year old Brazilian fighter, with a professional record of 15-1, signed on with the league in 2018 and has won all four of his bouts since then. Sakai is currently on a six-win streak (one that started even before he joined the UFC), while Alistair Overeem has won three of his six fights in the same time frame, including his most recent one in May. UFC Fight Night 176 is likely to be Sakai’s most difficult challenge so far, with Overeem holding almost every “on paper” advantage over and being the current favorite to win. MMA fans know that anything can happen in the Octagon, though, so you’ll just have to sign up for ESPN+ and tune in tonight to see what happens.
