UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Arlovski Reactions
-I hope you saw that Arlovski/Overeem fight and didn't blink. Glove touch, throwing shots, back off, throw more shots, DOWN GOES OVEREEM, ARLOVSKI POUNCES, ITS OVER!!!! Andrei Arlovski is back!! He has instantly entered the heavyweight title picture with 5 wins in his last 6 UFC fights. He did lose to Stefan Struve in January but with Struve's loss, he climbs the ladder quickly.
-This was also seen shortly after the KO win for Arlovski
We'll just leave that right here. That fight will happen and is scheduled for Sept 3 on FS1 as the headliner.
-Bigfoot Silva did what he had to do to pick up a win over Stefan Struve. While it wasn't the greatest fight in the world, he got the job done. He's back on the winning side after losing 3 of 4 since losing to Velasquez in his title shot. A rematch between those two could be coming in the future.
-Joseph Benevidez was sent to the hospital after his win vs. Ian McCall. During the post-fight press conference, McCall asked the audience why a guy who won would have to go to the hospital for taking such a beating. Its well-known that UFC matchmaker ezevthokie9 is not a fan of Team Alpha Male and was even seen celebrating the recent loss by Chad Mendes.
-Cat Zigano used her wrestling to control Amanda Nunes throughout the fight. She is positioning herself at the top of the women's bantamweight division and could see a title shot in her future.
-Renan Barao nearly had TJ Dillashaw in, not one but, 2 ommaplatas but Dillashaw survived each one and finished Barao who couldn't answer shots. Dillashaw looks to have another shot at Dominick Cruz while Barao may be moving up in weight soon.
