UFC on ESPN+ 7 media day faceoffs: A big ol’ hug between Alistair Overeem, Aleksei Oleinik

UFC on ESPN+ 7 media day took place Thursday in St. Petersburg, Russia, where all of the main-card fighters faced off for the first time.

In the main event, heavyweights collide as former title challenger Alistair Overeem takes on Aleksei Oleinik. And in the co-headliner, two Russians go at it as Khabib Nurmagomedov teammate Islam Makhachev welcomes Arman Tsarukyan making his UFC debut. Also featured on the bout is a women’s flyweight bout between Roxanne Modafferi and Antonina Shevchenko.

You can watch the video above to see those face-offs and more. But be warned: IT GETS SUPER INTENSE BETWEEN OVEREEM AND OLEINIK.
