UFC heavyweight Alistair Overeem has released a video featuring the fighter just after his rough knockout loss to rising star Francis Ngannou.
Former K-1 champion Alistair Overeem was the top heavyweight contender when he faced off against Francis Ngannou at UFC 218. The fighter was riding a two fighting winning streak, having just earned a close decision victory over Fabricio Werdum.
However, things simply did not go the fighter’s way at UFC 218. Ngannou made short work of Overeem, earning a vicious knockout finish within the first round.
Ngannou would go on to face UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic after knockout out Overeem, though Miocic put on a dominant display over the rising knockout artist.
Now Alistair Overeem has decided to offer fight fans a sneak peak into his preparations before the highly anticipated fight against Ngannou and the fighter’s backstage experience after being knocked out. Within the clip, Ngannou revealed that he had to ask his coach what happened after the fight.
“When you have to ask that, that is very bad news. If you win, you know what happened.” Overeem stated. It was certainly a scary moment for the former K-1 champion.
