Filed under: Featured , Featured Videos , News , UFC LEDYARD, Conn. – Alistair Overeem never actually weighed just 210 pounds, but he’s clearly amused that people thought he was. Overeem (37-13 MMA, 2-2 UFC) meets fellow heavyweight Ben Rothwell (33-9 MMA, 3-3 UFC) tonight at UFC Fight Night 50. Their co-headliner airs on FOX Sports 1 from Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard, Conn. Overeem, fighting for the first time since a February win over Frank Mir and a subsequent elbow injury, sparked some chatter this past week when he nonchalantly replied to a tweet and said he weighed just 210 pounds, 47 pounds less than what he weighed for the Mir fight. @ mattiefranco25 @ Cowboycerrone @ TimKennedyMMA 210lbs at the moment!— Alistair Overeem (@Alistairovereem) August 28, 2014 On Wednesday Overeem spoke to reporters and admitted he was just kidding about his weight.
