On Sept. 10, Alistair Overeem will face the reigning UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic. Overeem will head into Miocic’s hometown of Cleveland, Ohio at UFC 203 with hopes of capturing the UFC heavyweight title.

Though he has held titles in other organizations, the Dutchman said he’s after the one thing he believes will solidify his legacy, a UFC title. Whether he wins or loses, Overeem said he plans to walk away from the sport in a couple of years.

UFC 203 will take place at the Quicken Loans Arena on Sept. 10, 2016. Miocic vs. Overeem will headline the pay-per-view card.
