Alistair Overeem batters Augusto Sakai on ground to earn TKO in 5th
Alistair Overeem showed a wrinkle in his game that most UFC fans haven’t seen, using his wrestling and vicious ground-and-pound to finish Augusto Sakai by TKO in the fifth round Saturday in the main event of UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas.
The finish came at 26 seconds of the final round.
Overeem, a former K-1 kickboxing grand prix champion, has been most known for his striking, with devastating knockout power in his hands, all-around technical acumen and brutal knees.
