Alistair Overeem has officially re-signed with the UFC after entering free agency following his last fight where he knocked out former heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos.

Overeem confirmed the news on his Twitter account:

 

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.

Been a wrestling fan for almost 30 years. I've seen Hulkamania, The New Generation, The NWO, the Attitude Era, and the PG Era, and I've enjoyed all of it in different ways. I still remember standing on the guardrail at ten years old and having it fall over in front of Razor Ramon. I was there live when The Undertaker abducted Stephanie McMahon, and I was there when The Rock surprised the entire TD Garden at a house show. Recently been getting into a lot of independent wrestling, especially in the Northeast. I follow WWE, NXT, TNA, ROH and NJPW, among others, but mainly only watch WWE/NXT religiously. I'll probably be more positive about WWE than you, and I'm OK with that.
