A Heavyweight Champion Is Crowned
A vacant heavyweight championship was up for grabs tonight as The Demolition Man from Holland, Alistair Overeem, would take on the head-hunting big man from Texas Paul Buentello. Paul trains in San Jose, so his fan base is huge at the HP Pavilion. Alistair pushed the pace and really took it to Buentello, forcing him on his back while he pounded away at the larger man's face. Overeem was working Paul over on the ground, attempting the occasional submission and really just displaying world class technique in all regards. The second round saw some action on the feet as Alistair Overeem finished Buentello with some vicious knees to the body. Paul had enough and yielded to a submission victory. Alistair was very pleased post-fight, felt he had plenty of energy after the fight and is will be prepared for any upcoming challenges.
