2. Alistair Overeem “Interviewing” During the Fight
At UFC on ESPN 7 on December 7, 2019, in his fight against Jairzinho Rozenstruik, Alistair Overeem controlled the fight well until the final seconds. However, in the last second of the final round, Rozenstruik landed a powerful punch that knocked Overeem down. When Overeem stood up, his face had a large gash, and he seemed confused about what had happened. Hilariously, he started interviewing the referees and medical team right there in the ring, asking them what had happened and if the fight was over. Seeing Overeem trying to continue the conversation with a dazed expression and a huge cut on his face created a memorable and funny moment.
