Alistair Overeem rocks Ben Edwards during the K-1 World Grand Prix Final 16.Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem, who’s taking a break from MMA to fight in Japan’s major kickboxing promotion, showed once again that he’s one of the best kickboxers in the world by winning a first-round technical knockout over Ben Edwards at the K-1 World Grand Prix 2010 Final 16 in Seoul.

The massive Overeem brutalized Edwards with power punches, knocking Edwards down three times to end the fight emphatically.

“I hope you enjoyed my fight,” Overeem said afterward. “I fight for the fans. You’re awesome.” Overeem also dedicated the fight to someone he knew who was killed in action in Afghanistan.
