Russian heavyweight Alexander Volkov knocked out Dutch veteran Alistair Overeem in the main event of UFC Fight Night 184 on February 7 in Las Vegas.

At the beginning of the battle, the fighters did not force the events. Volkov pressed and rarely threw single punches, while Overeem was in defence and often found himself pinned to the net.

In the second round, Volkov managed to smash the opponent's nose with an accurate jab, and then he confidently continued to attack the Dutchman with two-punch combos - after one of them Overeem fell on the floor and the referee stopped the fight.
