10 Wild MMA Fights That You Need To Watch In December
4. Alistair Overeem Vs. Jairzinho Rozenstruik - UFC On ESPN: Overeem Vs. Rozenstruik
Although it's extremely difficult to bet on MMA due to the countless variables involved in a fight, it wouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the match-up between Alistair Overeem and Jairzinho Rozenstruik will end with someone knocked out cold. All you need to do is look at their records and fight styles to know that there is no way that this is going to a decision.
As a longtime MMA veteran and high level striker, Overeem has fought a who's who of opponents inside the Octagon and ring. Whether it's in the UFC, Pride, Strikeforce or even K-1, the Dutchman has had a 20-year career filled with highlight reel knockouts. Despite having such a lengthy career, Overeem is still evolving as a fighter, using a more patient approach by picking his spots before clobbering opponents with knees or punches.
While Overeem is definitely the more polished fighter, it would be foolish to doubt Rozenstruik's ridiculous power. All you need to do is look at his last fight against Andrei Arlovski at UFC 244. It looked like the undefeated Surinamese striker barely hit Arlovski with anything, yet the former champion was face-first on the canvas wondering what happened following a tasty left hook.
