Alexander Volkov finishes Alistair Overeem with brutal series of punches in UFC Vegas 18 main event

Alexander Volkov has a lot of wins on his UFC resume but arguably none more impressive than his finish on Saturday night.

Taking on Alistair Overeem in the UFC Vegas 18 main event, Volkov put on a striking clinic as he picked apart the former K-1 Grand Prix champion on the feet before finally connecting with a brutal left hook that ended the fight. As soon as Volkov’s punch landed, Overeem just crumbled to the ground and that was enough for referee Jason Herzog to stop the contest.

The stoppage came at 2:06 into the second round.
