UFC heads to Portland on April 11, seven fights announced for the card

The UFC will head to Portland, Oregon on April 11 for a UFC Fight Night event headlined by a heavyweight bout between Alistair Overeem and Walt Harris.

The promotion announced the news on their official website earlier this evening. The event will take place at the Moda Center.

Alistair Overeem (45-18 MMA) will enter UFC Portland looking to rebound, this after suffering a fifth round knockout loss to Jairzinho Rozenstruik this past December. Prior to the setback, ‘The Reem’ was coming off back-to-back TKO victories over Sergei Pavlovich and Alexey Oleynik respectively.

Meanwhile, Walt Harris (13-7 MMA) will be looking to build on his current three-fight win streak this April when he squares off with Alistair Overeem. In his most recent effort at June’s UFC event in San Antonio, Harris scored a first round knockout victory over the aforementioned Alexey Oleynik.

The UFC also announced six other fights for April’s fight night event in Portland.

Vicente Luque vs. Randy Brown
Carla Esparza vs. Michelle Waterson

Don’Tale Mayes vs. Rodrigo Nascimento
