UFC FIGHT NIGHT ON ESPN+: OVEREEM vs. SAKAI is set for this Saturday, September 5 at UFC APEX in Las Vegas. The main event features a heavyweight bout between the division’s No. 6-ranked contender Alistair Overeem (46-18, 1 NC) and No. 9-ranked Augusto Sakai (15-1-1).  All fights will be carried exclusively on ESPN+ in English and Spanish. The main card begins at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT, with the prelims kicking off at 6 p.m. ET / 3 p.m. PT.

Overeem, one of the most decorated fighters in MMA history, has won three of his last four bouts as he looks to deliver Sakai, one of the division’s rising stars, his first UFC career loss.  The Netherlands standout is the second UFC fighter to win pro MMA fights over four decades (1990s, 2000s, 2010s, 2020s), after stopping Walt Harris in May.  Sakai is coming off a split-decision win over Blagoy Ivanov and enters the Octagon with a perfect 4-0 record in the UFC. The 29-year-old made a splash at Dana White’s Contender Series in August 2018, where he defeated Marcos Conrado by knockout. The co-main event will feature a light heavyweight bout between Ovince Saint Preux (24-14) and Alonzo Menifield (9-1).
