U Washingtonu je održana UFC-ova priredba na kojoj su u glavnoj borbi večeri u kavez ušli Nizozemac Alistair Overeem i Surinamac Jairzinho Rozenstruik. Potonji je nadolazeća velika zvijezda UFC-ove teške kategorije i to je dokazao protiv Overeema.
Jairzinho je u petoj rundi plasirao razornu kombinaciju direkta i krošea te je poslao Overeema na spavanje. Međutim, epilog je bio podosta brutalan. Naime, Overeemu je Jairzino kod nokauta otkinuo ogroman komad usne.

Overrem je zapravio čak i bio nešto bolji u meču i možda bi čak dobio meč na bodove, ali je doslovce četiri sekunde prije kraja popio razorne udarce i na kraju pao.
Surinamskom borcu je ovo deseta pobjeda u deset dosadašnjih mečeva, a Overeem je do sada nanizao čak 18 poraza, no, može se pohvaliti s 45 pobjeda.
