Alistair Overeem, the man who TKO'd Brock Lesnar, is back on his path toward the UFC heavyweight crown.

Rattling off three consecutive wins in as many fights before Sunday, Overeem returned to the Octagon to crane kick Andrei Arlovski, before hitting him with a nasty left and then a flurry of swift hands to TKO the former champ at UFC Rotterdam.

With the win, Overeem is now in the driver's seat to meet the winner of what should be a hotly-contested Fabricio Werdum-Stipe Miocic showdown at UFC 198 on Saturday, May 14.
