Round 1
Both men arrive in traditional attire and get on with the job! Overeem winging some hooks and Hari trying to counter. Nothing landing for either man but big boys chucking big bombs early.
Overeem definitely looking a little uncomfortable early. Hari’s feet don’t always support him, and his face is pressed after Hari fires back. No kicks from either man so far. And Hari is taking his time with his punches.
Overeem uses a high guard, so Hari moves with two kicks. The crowd is chanting for Hari.
Overeem is coming forward, pressuring, trying to muscle Hari off. Hari is moving very well and hitting Overeem with straight punches, but can’t seem to find the big one.
These two men are unlikely to make it through the second round.
MMA Fighting scores the round 10-9 for Hari.

Overeem:
Good knee Hari picking away. Hari then unleashes her big right hand. Overeem isn’t able to find happiness. Looking a lot like a guy who hasn’t kickboxed in 12 years.
Hari is a rockstar because of Overeem! Hari is forced to touch the canvas by Hari’s glove with an uppercut from the inside. However, the referee does not call this a knockdown. Overeem staying inside and trying to land another one but can’t find the shot before the round ends.
MMA Fighting scores the round 10-9 Overeem, 19-19 overall.
Round 3
After that shot Hari was a bit shaky, but his glove touched the ground. It should have been a knockdown. Overeem was awarded the round by one judge.
Final round: Hari has won most of the fight. Now all that is needed to him is to not be knocked out.
Overeem still coming forward with some very odd moves. Landed a couple of shots but Hari ripping the body. Hari keeping a high guard and in retreat and Overeem lands a big right hand that gets Hari wobbling!!!!
Hari falls and
Overeem continues to be on him with large shots. The referee taking a LONG time to count to 10. Hari does it and Overeem has no problem with him. Big shots! Hari is against the ropes, and he falls again!
Hari raises it again. Overeem is putting pressure on Hari, and now he’s feeling hurt. Hari scores a huge right and Overeem slows down. Both men are gassed and somehow this fight makes it to the scorecards but we are probably going to another round.
