We saw Johny Hendricks tag Jon Fitch with a quick left hook. Resulting in a KO victory with just 12 seconds into the first round. Awarding him Knockout Of The Night Bonus.
The Cowboy Cerrone got schooled by the Stockton Kid - Nate Diaz all three rounds. Cerrone managed to place some kicks but unfortunately not damaging enough. At times he was able to get Diaz off balance and on his back but chose to back off and stand up with Diaz. Looks like Cerrone has no confidence in his ground game against the BJJ fighter. Nate Diaz since changing weight class has impressed with his boxing and striking accuracy. He still throws in his antics now and then but for the most part he has improved. They both received Fight Of The Night Bonus.
Lastly the heavyweights made their way to the octagon. Allistair Overeem who has risen to celebrity status since the merging of the promotions. Brock Lesnar has had a tough road working through his medical dilemmas, recovery from surgery and actually preparing for the fight. At first it didn't look like Lesnar stood much of a chance against the dutch kick boxer, ultimately that was fact. Overeem managed to kick and knee his way to victory. At the end, only one thing was left to be said.
“I’m going to officially say tonight is the last time you’ll see me in the Octagon,” Lesnar said. “Brock Lesnar is officially retired.”
Junior Dos Santos will defend his Heavyweight Championship Belt against Allistair Overeem sometime in 2012.
