Tonight - Alistair Overeem gets his First "UFC" Fight against Todd Duffee

Okay so it's actually a Dream fight at Dynamite! 2010 but it's against one of the brightest UFC prospects around of recent times.  Unfortunately, Duffee is no longer a UFC prospect as he got the boot recently for uncertain reasons.  For Overeem, this is a great opportunity to defeat a class UFC fighter and show his ranking as heavyweight king is not an illusion.  It's one of a few intriguing fights on the Dream card but has significant ramifications in the heavyweight division.  Both Overeem and Duffee have taken the fight on short notice / preparation.  Overeem just had a grueling K1 tournament which he won and Duffee just took the fight recently.  Expect Overeem to be the more savvy striker but the question will be who controls the fight as both are monstrous heavyweights.
