Things didn’t end well for Alistair Overeem on Saturday night.

The heavyweight veteran suffered a knockout loss to Jairzinho Rozenstruik in the main event of UFC on ESPN 7 in Washington, D.C. Overeem (45-18 MMA, 10-7 UFC) was dominating the action for the majority of the fight until he got knocked out with four seconds remaining in the fifth round.

On top of the defeat, Overeem suffered a huge cut that split the left side of his upper lip. The image, which is not for the squeamish, can be seen below:

Overeem had a two-fight winning streak snapped with his loss to Rozenstruik. He’s now 2-3 in his past five bouts. The 39-year-old has suffered 14 knockout losses in his 20-year MMA career.
