Alistair Overeem (40-14) will be headlining the UFC’s first trip to his home country of the Netherlands, and it looks like his opponent will be  a man he knows well. 

The rumor mill says Overeem will be battling his JacksonWink teammate Andrie Arlovski (25-11).

Overeem, who as a free agent recently resigned with the promotion has won 3 straight defeating Stefan Struve (ko), Roy Nelson (ud), and Junior dos Santos (tko). Arlovski will be looking to rebound from a January, TKO loss to Stipe Miocic, which ended a 6 fight win streak; that included knock outs of Antonio Silva and Travis Browne.

UFC Fight Night 87 will be on May 8, at the Ahoy Rotterdam in Rotterdam the Netherlands.

HW: Alistair Overeem (40-14) vs Andrie Arlovski (25-11)
