Not only was Alistair Overeem brutally knocked out in the waning seconds of the UFC on ESPN 7 main event, but he suffered a gruesome lip injury in the process.
A massive right hand landed by Jairzinho Rozenstruik earned him a knockout victory at the 4:56 mark of Round 5 at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., and it left Overeem with part of his lip dangling from his mouth in the aftermath.
“The Reem” seemed to be in fairly good spirits shortly after the defeat, although he did question the nature of the stoppage.
