UFC Fight Night Overeem vs Arlovski weigh-in highlights

UFC Fight Night Rotterdam weigh-ins are over and done with.  The fighters finished all their media obligations the past couple of days.  All that is left for them is to show up on Sunday May 8th, 2016 and give the fans a night to remember.

Saturday May 7th, 2016 fighters took to the scale in front of a very excited international crowd and all made weight.  Local Dutch favorites Overeem, Struve and de Randamie are all fighting on the main card and seem very ready for their fights on home soil.  They all have superb stand-up pedigree and it will be up to their opponents if they want to stand and bang as well.  Alistair Overeem, fighting Andrei Arlovski as the main event, is used to competing against team-mates during his former kickboxing career and is ready to show he is next in line for that UFC Heavyweight title shot.  Stefan Strufe pretty much guaranteed at media day that his co-main event heavyweight matchup with Big Foot Silva will not last 3 rounds.  The Iron lady Germaine de Randamie, back after a little more than a year, is not underestimating UFC debutant Anna Elmose but is very confident in her skills and ready for this fight.
