Mark Hunt and Alistair Overeem kicked off the action at “UFC 209” with their hard-hitting heavyweight opener. The two set a grueling pace in the opening round, changing levels constantly and landing exchanging stiff shots. Neither Overeem or Hunt pushed the pace, knowing the other possessed dangerous knockout power. While Hunt would find that out in the final round, it was the leg kicks that drew blood in the opening round.
Hunt suffered a nasty gash on his shin in the early moments and it was pouring blood down his shin, painting the octagon. Check out the nasty gash in the pictures below:
