Overeem vs. Harris: How to watch, plus full analysis

MMA

The UFC Fight Night main event on Saturday is expected to be a slugfest as heavyweights Alistair Overeem and Walt Harris collide in Jacksonville, Florida.

Overeem is coming off a loss to Jairzinho Rozenstruik, who finished the former Strikeforce heavyweight champion in the final seconds of their fight last December. Harris, meanwhile, hasn’t lost in his past four fights and has recorded two straight stoppages inside of one minute.

This will be Harris’ first fight since his stepdaughter Aniah Blanchard went missing last October and was found dead of a gunshot wound the following month.

The card begins at 6 p.m. ET and will be aired on both ESPN and ESPN+.

In the co-main event, former strawweight title challenger Claudia Gadelha takes on Angela Hill, who will be fighting for the seventh time since 2019. She’s gone on a tear, winning three in a row.
