Don't call Alistair Overeem washed up just yet. The veteran notched a big win over Augusto Sakai to close out UFC Fight Night 176 from the Apex Facility in Las Vegas.
The first round between the sluggers played out like a high stakes chess match. Neither fighter wanted to commit too much, and the respect that each had for the power of their opponent was evident. However, Sakai did attack in two- to three-shot bursts that landed between the two exchanging kicks from range.
The second round featured much more clinch work from both fighters.
