UFC: Alexander Volkov Knocks Out Alistair Overeem and Qualifies for Heavyweight Belt | combat

The first round started with Volkov kicking Overeem in the leg, prompting the Dutchman to retreat to the grid and immediately protect himself from what could be Russian punches, which he did not happen. Overeem expected Volkov to play the fast break, but he played hard, quick shots to try to surprise. On one of these hits, the Russian landed a short right hand and dropped the Dutchman, who soaked up a few blows on the ground before getting up. Overeem finished the round looking shocked by the blows he received.

The second round made Overeem seem more cautious and Volkov used jabs to undermine his opponent’s resistance. The Russian landed hard blows that hurt the Dutchman. Shortly before the middle of the round, a left back finally toppled Overeem, who was on all fours in the Octagon, completely defenseless and unable to continue the fight.

Cory Sandhagen implodes Frankie Edgar

What was supposed to be a fight ended up being a video from a social network. In the UFC Overeem vs. Volkov co-main event, bantamweight Cory Sandhagen knocked out legendary Frankie Edgar in spectacular and historic fashion with a flying knee in just 28 seconds of first-round fighting.

The fight had barely started and Frankie Edgar received a right knee when he approached Cory Sandhagen. The blow was so perfect that Sandhagen walked after the blow looking at his opponent lying on the ground, as if he still didn’t believe what he had done.
