UFC Fight Night 87 Poster

UFC Fight Night 87 takes place this coming Sunday night (May 8th) in Rotterdam, Holland, and we’ve got the full fight card for you below.

Dutch heavyweight star Alistair Overeem headlines the first ever UFC event in his home country, taking on fellow top 5 contender Andrei Arlovski.

There’s more heavyweight action in the co-main event too, featuring two men in desperate need of a turnaround in fortunes, as Antonio Silva has just one win in his last six fights, while Stefan Struve has lost two of his last three Octagon encounters.

Gunnar Nelson will also be hoping to get back to winning ways, but he’s got another tough opponent in front of him, the in-form Albert Tumeov who is riding a five-fight winning streak.

No.14 ranked woman’s bantamweight fighter Germaine De Randamie welcomes Denmark’s Anna Elmose to the Octagon, while Nikita Krylov looks for his fourth win in a row against Fancimar Barroso who’s coming off back-to-back wins.

Opening up the main card, the undefeated Karolina Kowalkiewicz will go up against former TUF contestant Heather Clark.
