UFC 209 video highlights: Alistair Overeem vs. Mark Hunt

If you thought Alistair Overeem was out of the UFC heavyweight title picture after losing to champ Stipe Miocic last September, think again.

Overeem, in his first fight since that defeat, bounced back in a big way with a third-round knockout of Mark Hunt (12-11-1 MMA, 7-5-1 UFC).

The heavyweight bout opened up the main card of UFC 209 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

The finish was brutal, with Overeem (42-15 MMA, 7-4 UFC) landing a knee square on Hunt’s chin, followed by another to the side of the head that put the “Super Samoan” to sleep and sent him crashing to the mat.
