Alistair Overeem is back! The Dutch MMA fighter capped off a perfect night at UFC Fight Night 87 in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
In the main heavyweight event, Overeem faced JacksonWink teammates Andrei Arlovski, who came in guns blazing early in the very first round, throwing a bunch of punches and knees while Overeem covered up against the fence.
Unfortunately for Arlovski, that was the only moment in the fight where Overeem was in trouble. Throughout the rest of the fight Overeem took control with a number of trademark knees in the clinch and kicks, which caught most of Arlovski’s attention. Overeem eventually finished the fight in the second round with a big left hand and concluding with a massive ground-and-pound at 1:12.
