Can’t see him at UFC Portland? Watch Alistair Overeem take out Aleksei Oleinik, instead

Alistair Overeem should’ve been winding down his training camp right about now for a headliner against Walt Harris.

Instead, he, like the rest of us, now lives in a coronavirus world. And that means Overeem (45-17 MMA, 10-6 UFC) has his fight against Harris (13-7 MMA, 6-6 UFC) at UFC on ESPN+ 30 on hold. The event was supposed to go down April 11 in Portland, Ore. But it’s among the events the UFC had to postpone in the wake of the global coronavirus pandemic.

While we don’t yet know when Overeem will get the Harris fight rebooked, at least we can take a look back at his most recent win.

In St. Petersburg, Russia, in April 2019, Overeem took out Aleksei Oleinik with 15 seconds left in the first round for his second straight TKO win after a pair of knockout losses to Francis Ngannou and Curtis Blaydes.

We may not have new live fights to count on yet, but we can take a look back at some great finishes like Overeem’s in the video above.
