Fighters react to Alistair Overeem's second-round finish of Andrei Arlovski
Alistair Overeem took a huge step toward finally getting a shot at the UFC heavyweight title Sunday after dismantling training partner Andrei Arlovski at UFC Fight Night in Rotterdam.
Arlovski controlled the bout early, but Overeem rebounded and was able to finish the fight in the second round after dropping the Russian with a flying switch kick and ending the fight with strikes on the ground.
Check out some of the best reactions to Overeem's fourth straight win and third finish in as many fights.
