Alistair Overeem vs Andrei Arlovski full fight video preview for UFC Fight Night 87 main event

Alistair Overeem vs. Andrei Arlovski heavyweight showdown headlines the upcoming UFC Fight Night 87 mixed martial arts (MMA) extravaganza on FOX Sports 1, set to go down inside Ahoy Rotterdam in Netherlands later today (Sun., May 8, 2016).

We already know who wins, based on the EA Sports UFC simulation (see it here).

Overeem (40-14, 1 NC) could be one victory away from a heavyweight title shot after winning three consecutive fights, including last December's technical knockout win over Junior dos Santos. Arlovski, (25-11, 1 NC), meanwhile, is looking to rebound from his own knockout loss to Stipe Miocic back in January.

Joe Rogan previews their hoss fight in the embedded video above.
