MMA proved itself again as a sport that can change in a split second in the main event of the UFC’s Saturday night card from Washington. Decorated former champion Alistair Overeem (45-18-1, 1 no contest) was just seconds away from victory against undefeated knockout artist Jairzinho Rozenstruik (10-0). Rozenstruik landed a lunging punch that connected with full force to the face of Overeem. Overeem tumbled to the mat and the fight was called off at 4:56 of the final round, the latest finish in the history of the UFC heavyweight division. However, Means dropped Alves with a punch and locked in a guillotine choke to secure the first round submission.
