UFC Vegas 18 Medical Suspensions: Alistair Overeem Facing Potential Six-Month Sit
Alistair Overeem will be on the sidelines for the foreseeable future.
In the main event of UFC Vegas 18, Alexander Volkov scored a second-round TKO win over Overeem. The legend also broke his news in the loss and many thought he would retire but it appears that will not be the case but he is out for potentially six months.
Meanwhile, Frankie Edgar, who suffered a brutal flying knee KO loss is out until April 8 but it is likely he won’t fight anytime soon anyway. He will need to heal his brain and look to comeback later this year.
