If watching Glover Teixeira knockout Anthony Smith in the fifth round of Wednesday night's fight wasn't enough for you, don't worry as the UFC has even more MMA action in store for you this weekend. UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs Harris is scheduled for this Saturday and we have all the details on how you can watch the event on TV in the U.S, Canada, UK and Australia.
Alistair Overeem and Walt Harris were originally scheduled to battle it out in the octagon at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon on April 11 but just like with UFC 249, the event was cancelled as a result of the coronavirus. UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs Harris has now been rescheduled for Saturday, May 16 and will be held at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida as will likely be the case for the rest of the UFC's upcoming events in the near future.
Overeem is a former kickboxing champion while Harris is a Golden Gloves amateur boxing champion. However, the two are closely matched as Overeem is in eighth place in the UFC's heavyweight rankings and Harris is in ninth place. This will certainly be a big fight for Harris as it is his first time stepping into the ring since the tragic loss of his stepdaughter. Harris is unbeaten in his last four fights and he has won 13 fights by knockout during his career. Overeem lost his last fight in December to Jairzinho Rozenstruik but he did win his previous two fights before that one.
Elsewhere on the card, Claudia Gadelha will take on Angela Hill in a women's strawweight bout, Dan Ige will go up against Edson Barboza in a featherweight bout, Eryk Anders will face off against Krzysztof Jotko in a middleweight bout and Song Yadong and marlon Vera will meet in the ring for a featherweight bout.
