Alistair Overeem Rallies In Round 3 - Alistair Overeem vs. Tyrone Spong is one of the more anticipated fights in the K-1 World Grand Prix Final 8, with Overeem being one of the early favorites for the tournament but Spong as a strong darkhorse. Spong has trained extensively for Alistair and putting on weight to be able to hang against him.

The first round saw Overeem struggle with the clinch rules, being warned twice for using a thai plumb knee. Spong showed that he is not only game, but that he is easily one of the best in the world, as he caught Overeem with a giant right hand and swarmed on The Reem. It was a giant confidence builder for Spong, making his first World Grand Prix appearance and enough to get him a round. Against Overeem, an easy favorite, that is huge.
