It appears that after dominating his time in the UFC, Alistair Overeem is now eyeing a switch. Additionally, he has a million dollars worth of reason for doing so, literally. The Dutch fighter was recently observed watching a battle at ONE Championship from the cage side. And given that he reportedly contacted the Singapore-based MMA promotion in an effort to seek a spot at their upcoming big event, this appearance undoubtedly represents a development on that rumor.

Besides, Overeem last fought in the UFC in February 2021 against Alexander Volkanovski and lost the bout via TKO. It’s almost two years now since the 42-year-old has been in action. Until now. This ONE Championship event is something that has sparked his interest and seems like fans are loving the idea as much, too.

Speaking of this event, the ONE Championship’s head honcho, Chatri Sityodtong, told South China Morning Post, “You’re going to see some really wacky stuff. Openweight is openweight,” He further added, “The Grand Prix only for ONE fighters but we’re always constantly signing athletes, several we haven’t announced.”

After spotting Alistair Overeem at ONE Fight Night 6, the fans have gotten optimistic about him participating in the openweight Grand Prix and have picked the right opponents for him, too.
