Overeem has become one of the most coveted free agents in the sport after fighting out his last contract with the UFC. Overeem is expected to have signed a multi-year deal, and is likely on the path towards a title fight after defeating Dos Santos. Additionally, Overeem is the last man to hand current heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum a loss, making him likely only one win away from a championship opportunity.
