UFC DC preview with Rashad Evans: Overeem-Rozenstruik, Calvillo’s weight miss, more

WASHINGTON – UFC on ESPN 7 goes down Saturday, and the 13-fight card is filled with interesting fights and compelling storylines.

Much of the focus, of course, is on the main event between heavyweight contenders Alistair Overeem (45-17 MMA, 10-6 UFC) and Jairzinho Rozenstruik (9-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC), but the co-main event between Marina Rodriguez (13-0-1 MMA, 2-0-1 UFC) and Cynthia Calvillo (8-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) is getting its fair share of attention, too.

UFC on ESN 7 takes place at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. The card streams on ESPN+.

To give you insight into all the storylines around Overeem vs. Rozenstruik, Rodriguez vs. Calvillo and more, MMA Junkie senior reporter Mike Bohn and UFC Hall of Famer/ESPN analyst Rashad Evans preview the event in the video above.
