A heavyweight matchup between Alistair Overeem and Walt Harris has been rescheduled.
Overeem (45-17 MMA, 10-6 UFC) will take on Harris (13-7 MMA, 6-6 UFC) in the UFC on ESPN+ 30 main event April 11 at Moda Center in Portland, Ore., the promotion announced Saturday.
The card will stream on ESPN+.
The pair initially was scheduled to headline UFC on ESPN 7 last December in Washington D.C., but Harris withdrew from the fight after the disappearance of his stepdaughter, Aniah Blanchard, who was later found murdered after a one-month search.
Jairzinho Rozenstruik stepped in to replace Harris and scored a comeback knockout victory over Overeem with just four seconds remaining in the fight. Prior to that, Overeem had notched back-to-back finishes over Sergey Pavlovich and Aleksei Oleinik.
Harris’ last win also came over Oleinik, when he stopped the Russian in just 12 seconds at UFC on ESPN 4 last July. It was his third win in a row.
The current UFC on ESPN+ 30 lineup includes:
- Walt Harris vs. Alistair Overeem
- Randy Brown vs. Vicente Luque
- Carla Esparza vs. Michelle Waterson
- Tristan Connelly vs. Alex Silva
- Don’Tale Mayes vs. Rodrigo Nascimento
- Alessio Di Chiricio vs. Markus Perez
- Julia Avila vs. Karol Rosa
