The UFC’s return to Russia has wrapped up, and Alistair Overeem sent the fans home in disappointment after winning a pretty wild one-round battle with Oleksei Oleinik. While Oleinik was going aggressively for sloppy haymakers and body shots, he ate a ton of brutal knees in the clinch, and that’s what felled him. Overeem finished things off on the ground, although it looked as if there was some hesitancy to inflict that much more damage on his friend. There would be no Ezekiel choke or any craziness on the ground (although Oleinik did pull guard in the opening seconds).
