Alistair Overeem and Fabricio Werdum completed for the third time at UFC 213, but it didn’t really put a definite end to their trilogy. After a pretty uneventful opening round, Overeem edged the 2nd, and Werdum took the third with a wide margin as he hurt Alistair pretty bad.

Unfortunately for Werdum, he didn’t finish — or try hard enough to go for it — and he ended up losing a very close majority decision. It still ended up as a pretty entertaining back and forth contest.

Round 3 - Werdum with another flying kick thing to start. Overeem whiffs on a big punch. Body kick for Werdum. They both miss in close. Overeem with a slapping left. Knee to the body from Werdum.
