Alistair Overeem
There seems to be no stopping Alistair Overeem at 40 years old as this fighter may have missed a beat but can still be very competitive inside the MMA cage. “The Demolition Man” from Amsterdam, Netherlands is coming from back-to-back victories and he still has that knockout punch by defeating Walt Harris and Augusto Sakai. He won four of his last five fights in the organization and his only loss was against Jairzinho Rozenstruik. He hopes to get back into contention for the title as this fifth-ranked fighter may go up and try his luck by getting a title shot for his next match.
Alexander Volkov
Alexander Volkov came to the UFC with a strong outing and he won his first four matches before losing to Derrick Lewis. He managed to bounce back with a victory against Greg Hardy but lost to Curtis Blaydes in his fight after that. His most recent match happened in October 2020 and this 32-year-old fighter is set to try and break his roller coaster ride and rise up to his first title shot. He is just 32 years old and still has his best years ahead of him. A win against Overeem will help him solidify that he can compete and beat high profiled fighters and will make people acknowledge his arrival in the top 5 heavyweights.
