Main Card

Pay-per-view, 10 p.m. ET

Stipe Miocic (C) vs. Alistair Overeem for the UFC Heavyweight Championship

Overeem connected on a powerful left power kick early and then looked to end it with a guillotine choke but Miocic managed to escape. Then, with his hometown Cleveland crowd firmly in his corner, Miocic was able to rebound to tag Overeem a bunch of times with strikes. Overeem then got in a few shots of his own and the two went back and forth. Then with about a minute left in the first round, Overeem swung wildly and missed, and Miocic got on top of Overeem. Then Overeem landed some vicious ground-and-pound punches and it was lights out for Alistair Overeem when the referee stepped in.
After the fight, to the scorn of the Cleveland crowd, Overeem dubiously claimed that Miocic had tapped while in the guillotine choke. The video footage didn’t show any evidence of that.

 Mickey Gall vs. CM Punk

This was a mauling. Gall scored and early takedown and threw some huge punches from on top of a helpless CM Punk. Then Gall looked to lock in the rear naked choke and Punk staved off his first attempt but couldn’t stop another try soon after. CM Punk tapped out. Punk showed his guts by just stepping into the octagon, but the 37-year-old former WWE Superstar didn’t display anything to suggest he has a future in competitive fighting.
