On February 6 UFC is presenting the heavyweight fight between #5 contender Alistair Overeem and Alexander Volkov. The betting odds is currently favoring Volkov at -177 while Overeem is the underdog at +152. Overeem from The Netherlands has a fight record of 45-18 with 1 NC while Volkov from Russia has a fight record of 31-7. Since both heavyweights are strikers so it is expected that the bout will not last for more than 2 rounds. My personal take on the fight is Volkov where my money goes because of the volume of his strikes while Overeem is a one-punch knockout artist.

I don't know that much about these two but there is a lot of talk about this fight. I hope I will be able to remember when the time comes.

C'mon, do we even need to discuss this one. Volkov is obviously taking this one home.

One day before the fight, Volkov is now -200 in the betting odds while Overeem remains the underdog at +170.

The co-main event looks exciting with Frankie Edgar going down to Bantamweight division against. Cory Sandhagen. Unfortunately for Edgar the betting odds is against him this time at +320 while Sandhagen is the betting favorite at -410.

It was a bloody fight that ended in round 2 when the referee stopped the fight to save Alistair Overeem from more injuries. A strong punch by Alexander Volkov sent Overeem to the mat. With his bloody nose Overeem seened injured that he had lost his motivation to fight with a probable broken nose. Volkov was the favorite in the betting odds at -200 and he proved the oddsmaker correct with the knockout win. Now Volkov is asking for a title fight.

I told you Volkov is no joke. I mean, there is no way in hell I would ever get in a fight with that crazy bastard.

In the co-main event, Frankie Edgar suffered a TKO with a flying knee from Cory Sandhagen. It was a very short fight of 28 seconds only that had an unexpected end. Edgar is always a moving that opponents have a difficulty of hitting the target. But Sandhagen was able to time his jump to hit the jaw of Edgar with his knee. Edgar fell on the mat unconscious for a knockout that the referee stopped the contest.

This is that type of fight that I hate. How the hell do you pay for 28 seconds worth of entertainment. They should have given refunds. Total waste of time and perfectly good money.

But with a hit like that, I'm just glad he got out there in one piece.

It's MMA. What the hell did he think he was getting himself into?

Where does Alistair Overeem go from here? That was not a good performance from him. Maybe he should retire.

He better head back to training because that is where needs to be.

I bet he is nursing that broken nose because Demolition Man ​did a number on him.

The second round was brutal for Overeem. He needs time to figure shit out.
