LOS ANGELES, CA This week’s “UFC Tonight” features an exclusive interview with Alistair Overeem. Over the weekend, UFC President Dana White told reporters he met with Junior dos Santos, and the heavyweight champ called out Alistair Overeem saying Overeem was a "punk" with a "big mouth" and he wanted to "knock him out." Alistair Overeem will be on “UFC Tonight” to respond to dos Santos’ comments and whether he'll be able to fight this year.

 

Plus, “UFC Tonight” Insider Ariel Helwani talks to Lightweight Champ Benson Henderson about this weekend’s rematch with Frankie Edgar. And we talk to Edgar about the rematch against Henderson, whether he feels different going into a fight as a challenger and the latest on the potential fans’ dream matchup against Jose Aldo.
