UFC president Dana White’s recent statement will make Alistair Overeem hopeful of fulfilling his dream of becoming a UFC champion. White praised Overeem’s performance against Harris and revealed that Alistair’s next opponent will be one of the top five fighters in the heavyweight division. Alistair Overeem is currently ranked at #8 in the UFC heavyweight roster and now has 3 knockout victories in his last four fights inside the Octagon.

“He needs a fight in the top-five”, says Dana White on Alistair Overeem’s next clash

Speaking to ESPN’s Megan Olivi following UFC Florida, White revealed his plans for “The Reem’s” next fight and said it will be against “one of the top-five” fighters in the heavyweight division.

Speaking about possible opponents for Overeem’s next outing, Derrick Lewis should be the perfect matchup as the latter is on a two-fight win streak and does not have an opponent yet. It will be a classic “stand and bang” matchup that the fans would love to see for sure.
