Former Strikeforce and DREAM heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem suffered a first-round\u00a0knockout loss to reigning UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic in the headlining bout of yesterday’s UFC 203 pay-per-view event in Cleveland, Ohio.<\/p>\n

After dropping Miocic early on in round one, Alistair locked in a tight\u00a0guillotine choke and appeared to be well on his way to a victory. However, much to the disappointment of “Reem” fans, Stipe somehow fought off the submission attempt and got back to his feet.<\/p>\n

Shortly after\u00a0Overeem’s submission attempt failed, Miocic was able to get Alistair to the floor where he unleashed some brutal ground and pound which resulted in\u00a0the eventual knockout win.<\/p>\n

Minutes after the loss\u00a0“The Reem” was interviewed by UFC commentator Joe Rogan where he\u00a0suggested that he had felt Miocic tapout during his guillotine choke.<\/p>\n

Rogan refuted Overeem’s claim and then showed\u00a0the veteran fighter\u00a0video evidence that Miocic did not in fact tapout at any point during the chokehold.<\/p>\n

It was a very awkward situation and one that Joe Rogan has asked the UFC to never let transpire again. Here is what Joe had to say on Twitter:<\/p>\n

\n

I asked the UFC brass if we could please refrain from interviewing fighters after they've been KO'ed. I don't think it's wise nor fair.<\/p>\n
