Things didn’t go well for longtime mixed martial arts (MMA) veteran Alistair Overeem in his UFC DC main event matchup with Jairzinho Rozenstruik.

Overeem and Rozenstruik went back-and-forth for five rounds, in what was mostly a striking battle, before Overeem began to gas in the closing minutes of the fifth round. However, Overeem slowing down proved to be a big mistake, as Rozenstruik caught him with a big overhand that dropped him to the canvas stiff.

Although Overeem jumped up to his feet quickly, he stumbled badly and the referee decided to wave the action off. After the fight, it was noticed that the punch actually ripped Overeem’s lip apart. It was a grizzly scene, to say the least. Now, Overeem has taken to Twitter to react to the injury.

Here’s what he had to say:

“Getting stitched up. Lip not to sexy at the moment.. a little bit a fast stoppage if u ask me – but hope u guys enjoyed the fight”

After his win, Rozenstruik called out fellow feared knockout artist Francis Ngannou, which would certainly prove to be an interesting matchup. It will be intriguing to see what’s next for both Overeem and Rozenstruik after UFC DC.

What do you think about Overeem getting his lip split open in his KO Loss to Rozenstruik?

Last nights UFC fight card in Washington DC gave us some memorable moments.
Four fights finished by knockout but one in particular made the headlines. From
four submissions we got a rare finish and a front runner for 2019’s submission
of the year award. The other four fights went to the judges who scored two
fights a draw one of which was controversial to say the least.

The main event took place between MMA legend Alistair Overeem and undefeated kickboxer Jairzinho Rozenstruik. After fighting for five solid rounds it was Rozenstruik who got the finish with just four seconds remaining. The rising star KO’d Overeem who was clearly winning the fight up until then. A hellish punch sent the Dutch fighter flying to the canvas and busted his lip up bad in the process. Dan Miragliotta compounded his bad night by stepping in prematurely. Despite such a dramatic ending neither man earned a performance bonus. Here’s who did.

Performances Of The Night

Makhmud Muradov earned his performance of the night bonus with a spectacular knockout victory against Trevor Smith. This fight opened up the a great night of fights and got us off to a shocking start. After 14 minutes of fighting Muradov decided to take it into his own hands. He landed one of the most vicious overhand rights you’ll ever see, knocking out Smith cold before he even hit the ground.  Muradov made it 2-0 inside the UFC octagon and picked up $50,000 in the process.

Bryce Mitchell probably has submission of the year wrapped up after last night. “Thug Nasty” pulled off a twister submission over Matt Styles to claim a first-round victory. The twister has only ever been seen once before in the UFC, when Korean Zombie submitted Leonard Garcia with it back in 2011. Mitchell continued to look sensational inside the UFC and also continued to pester Reebok for some camo shorts! He’ll head into 2020 with a 12-0 undefeated record, an extra $50,000 in his bank and one of the greatest submissions of all time on his CV. It was a very good night for Bryce Mitchell.  

Fight Of The Night

Rob Font and Ricky Simon fought hard for three solid rounds last night. They opened the main card in emphatic fashion at UFC Washington DC. Over fifteen minutes they exchanged punches, grappling techniques, jockeyed for position and put on a fantastic show. It was a true back-and-forth fight that either man could have won. Both landed big shots and both came through tough moments to hear the final bell. However, it was Font who got the unanimous decision verdict from the judges. Simon will be disappointed after suffering a second straight loss, but he fought well and both men earned their post-fight bonus.

Should someone else have got a performance bonus last night?

Headlining UFC DC earlier tonight (Sat. December 7, 2019) was a heavyweight matchup between Alistair Overeem and Jairzinho Rozenstruik.

Overeem came into the fight on a two-bout win streak, finishing both of his previous opponents via TKO in the first round. “The Demolition Man” is one of the best strikers the heavyweight division has ever seen, and certainly presented Rozenstruik with difficulties matchup-wise.

Rozenstruik, a former professional kickboxer, entered the bout against Overeem undefeated in his mixed martial arts (MMA) career with a 9-0 record. Of all three of his previous appearances inside the Octagon, Rozenstruik was able to finish his opponents via knockout or TKO.

At UFC DC, Overeem and Rozenstruik went into the fifth round after some decent striking. However, when Overeem got tired late in the fifth round, Rozenstruik caught him with a nasty overhand to finish him with seconds left. It was a stunning-last second KO win for Rozenstruik.
