Strikeforce on NBC 6/15 Re-Cap
They will crown a Heavyweight Champion for the first time tonight on Strikeforce.
Heavyweight Title Fight: Paul Buentello (23-9) vs. Alistair Overeem (25-11-1)
This fight is 5 rounds since it’s for the vacant Strikeforce Heavyweight Title.
R1- Alistair quickly takes him down after a knee. Overeem just dominating the first round and Buentello’s face is very red around his right eye. Round 1 to Overeem. Possibly even a 10-8 round.
R2- Buentello trying to stay on his feet early in this round. Overeem takes him to the ground after about a minute of stand-up. The ref stands them up but Overeem takes him right back down. Buentello gets back to his feet and takes two knee strikes to the stomach/chest and Buentello taps out.
Winner and new Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion: Alistair Overeem by Submission (Knee Strikes) R2 3:42
Anthony Figueroa (2-1) vs. Miguel Linares (2-2)
This is a 130-135 pound weight class fight.
R1- Not a whole lot of action for a light weight fight early as there is a long feeling out process. Figueroa grabs Linares and starts punching him while he has him in a variation of a clinch and finishes him with punches.
Winner: Anthony Figueroa by TKO (strikes) R1
