Things didn’t end well for Alistair Overeem on Saturday night.
The heavyweight veteran suffered a knockout loss to Jairzinho Rozenstruik in the main event of UFC on ESPN 7 in Washington D.C. Overeem (45-18 MMA, 10-7 UFC) was dominating the action for the majority of the fight until he got knocked out with four seconds remaining in the fifth and final round.
On top of the defeat, Overeem suffered a huge cut that split the left side of his upper lip. The image, which is not for the squeamish, can be seen below:
Overeem snapped a two-fight win streak with his loss to Rozenstruik. He’s now 2-3 in his last 5 bouts. The 39-year-old has now suffered 14 knockout loses in his 20-year MMA career.
