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.
