UFC Betting Review:
Alistair Overeem did want many people expected and that was using his superior striking to win easily over Brock Lesnar. Overeem who is not a main stream MMA star was the Strikeforce heavyweight champion, Dream heavyweight champion and K-1 kickboxing champion used his knee strikes to batter Lesnar’s body that sent him to the ground until the ref had to force the stoppage at 2:26 of the first round. 
After the fight Brock who had of his colon removed in May with diverticulitis announced his retirement from mixed martial arts.
Nate Diaz came into the fight as a 2 to 1 underdog used his left right straight punches to batter Donald Cerrone for all three rounds.
Diaz used sharp, accurate precision punches to the head and body for a unanimous decision in the co-main event.
An even bigger shocker was the fight between Jon Fitch and Johny Hendricks. Hendricks started off with a vicious left hook that sent Fitch out cold in just 12 second of the first round.
