UFC Rotterdam video recap: Overeem TKOs Arlovski after crane kick

Check out BloodyElbow.com's recap of the UFC Rotterdam main event between Alistair Overeem and Andrei Arlovski.

UFC Fight Night 87 marked the UFC's debut in The Netherlands, with a rare early Sunday show this past weekend. In the main event, heavyweight contender Alistair Overeem knocked out teammate Andrei Arlovski in the second round. The heavyweights were rather inactive in the opening round, with the former champion having an early barrage of punches (most of which did not land) and that's about it. Things heated up early in the second round, however, when The Reem landed a flush crane kick -- the beginning of the end for Arlovski.
