Earlier this month a rumor circulated that Alistair Overeem would be making his return to action at the UFC's debut on FOX Sports 1 on August or possibly UFC 164. Today we learn that a bout with Travis Browne at the FOX Sports 1 event has been confirmed:

Alistair Overeem's return to the octagon has been shifted from UFC 164 to the promotion's debut event on FOX Sports 1.

Mutiple sources close to the event today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that Overeem (36-12 MMA, 1-1 UFC) is set to meet fellow standout heavyweight Travis Browne (14-1-1 MMA, 5-1-1 UFC) at UFC on FOX Sports 1 1, which takes place Aug. 17 at TD Garden in Boston.

Although the fight will be part of the night's main card and a major attraction, it won't even be the main event, UFC President Dana White subsequently told MMAjunkie.com. That assures at least one other significant bout will be added to the card.

Dangerous fight for both guys. Just the way the heavyweight division should be.

Overeem will get demolished again, he sucks.

[Impact!]

Overeem *should* win this. I would consider putting some money on Browne if the price was right though.

Do u even watch "Overeem vs Silva"...Overeem cant into victory.

[Impact!]

I have now, your point?

[Impact!]

Overeem did better against Silva. He should have won had he not gassed/came in fat. Browne is good, Overeem is better. If Overeem comes in and fights properly, he wins. If he fights stupid, he may lose.

[Kris P Lettus]

Huge step up in compitition for Browne (if reem comes in humble), but I've always thought he had whaf it takes to be a contender.. Not a "must win" for reem, but its def a "better win"..

[Impact!]

I really want Pat Barry to face the winner of this if he beats Shawn Jordan...(ignoring the fact Barry should be nowhere near top level guys)

[MoFo]

When he punch, he like a lion. When he eat punch, he like a cat.

Every time I see Travis Browne's name I always think of this

[Kris P Lettus]
