UFC on ESPN 7 in Tweets: Pros react to Jairzinho Rozenstruik’s knockout of Alistair Overeem
Esther Lin, MMA Fighting
Entering Saturday night’s main event at UFC on ESPN 7, longtime MMA veteran Alistair Overeem looked to halt the undefeated Jairzinho Rozenstruik.
While fans expected violence from the two kickboxing specialists, Overeem uitlized a grappling-heavy gameplan as as he tossed Rozenstruik around the Octagon. But with less than 10-seconds left in the fight, Rozenstruik uncorked a hellacious right hook to the jaw of Overeem, sending him crumpling the canvas and splitting his lip in two.
Below is how the pros reacted to the two title fights and the rest of the wild action from UFC on ESPN 7.

Cody Stamann vs. Song Yadong Ends In A Draw
Wow. These judges are really something else. ♂️
— Michael Johnson (@FollowTheMenace) December 8, 2019
Great fight for @CodyStamann! Stamann won that. @SongYaDongMMA will learn a ton from that right. Only 22 years old! But majority draw?? That’s terrible! #UFCDC
— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) December 8, 2019
Nahhh https://t.co/yqiXsOAyQM
— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) December 8, 2019
It’s insane to think, that if Yadong doesn’t illegally knee Stamann in the head, that Stamann would’ve lost that fight. This sport has some tough luck. #UFCDC
— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) December 8, 2019
WHAT!?!?!? #UFCDC
— Gerald Meerschaert (@The_Real_GM3) December 8, 2019
