The Dutchman has won four of his last five fights, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/alistair-overeem-releases-statement-following-tko-win-over-augusto-sakai\/\">including brutal TKO wins over Walt Harris and Augusto Sakai in his last two bouts<\/a>. Overeem is currently the No. 5 ranked heavyweight in the UFC. But that&#8217;s not good enough for him, because his goal is still to one day become the UFC heavyweight champion.<\/p>\n<p>The former Strikeforce and DREAM heavyweight champion, Overeem has been a member of the UFC roster since 2011 but he hasn&#8217;t yet tasted gold in the world&#8217;s leading MMA promotion. The closest that Overeem got to winning the belt came in September 2016 when he fought Stipe Miocic at UFC 203, losing the fight via first-round knockout. Since then, Overeem has gone 6-3 and another big win might earn him another title shot.<\/p>\n<p>Taking to his social media on Monday, Overeem promised his fans that he will make &#8220;one final&#8221; run for the belt.

After Overeem had won the first four rounds of the fight and was cruising towards a unanimous decision, he was hit with a big shot by Rozenstruik in the dying seconds of the fifth round of the fight, and referee Dan Miragliotta decided to step in and stop it at 4:56 of round five. Overeem was not a fan of the stoppage and believes that we need the rematch. If Overeem does get the Rozenstruik rematch and beats him, it might get him a title shot.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think Alistair Overeem can win the UFC heavyweight title?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although UFC heavyweight contender Alistair Overeem is 40 years old now, the long-time MMA veteran says he has one more title run in him.
