Kicking things off on the prelims was a lightweight contest between Magomed Mustafaev and Rafael Fiziev. Mustafaev picked up a quick TKO victory after nailing Fiziev with a spinning back kick to the face. Aside from a first-round finish victory, Mustafaev will also take home an extra $50,000 Performance Of The Night bonus.

On the main card, the heavyweights were full throttle, especially with Sergei Pavlovich’s big win over Marcelo Golm. Both men came into the fight looking to swing heavy leather early. It was Pavlovich who emerged victorious from the real-life game of Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots, finishing Golm in just over a minute of the first round. He’ll also take home a $50,000 Performance Of The Night bonus.

Finally, in the co-main event of the evening, lightweights Islam Makhachev and Arman Tsarukyan put on a tremendous contest. Both men were evenly matched throughout the bout in striking and grappling, but Makhachev was able to do just a little bit more to earn the judges’ unanimous decision victory. Tsarukyan won’t be going home empty-handed, however, as he and Makhachev have both been awarded an extra $50,000 for Fight Of The Night.

Oleinik came out very aggressive in the opening minutes, looking for his patented Ezekiel Choke on several occasions. However, some devastating knees from Overeem finally paid off in the closing seconds of the first round. “The Reem” dropped his Russian counterpart to the canvas before swarming on with some ground-and-pound to finish the night off.

Check out how the mixed martial arts (MMA) community reacted to Overeem pummeling Oleinik in today’s main event here:

Knee game from that clinch is serious!

Alistair Overeem's demeanor is never anything above that of a window shopper. Even when he's getting (momentarily) pummeled. Good win for him there.

Alexey Oleynik makes it interesting in Russia, goes out guns blazing against Alistair Overeem. But Overeem's clinch too much. Standing knees hurt Oleynik, ground and pound puts him away in opening round.

Alistair Overeem TKOs Alexey Oleynik in the first round. Fun fight, while it lasted.

— Ariel Helwani (@arielhelwani) April 20, 2019

You sort of forget that most heavyweights have no real clinch game to speak of, but Alistair Overeem does. Sure, heavyweights hit hard, even in the clinch. But a *clinch game*? Overeem is a somewhat unique in that regard.
