Oleksiy Oliynyk knocks Jared Rosholt out cold in first round comeback victory

by Ben Heather @benheather

An interesting heavyweight fight between a renowned submission specialist and a heavyweight wrestler with knockout power.

The fight starts and both men are going at it, throwing bombs. Rosholt starts mixing up his punches with knees and hurts Olinynk but doesn't go in for the kill instead picks his punches before another big knee hurts Oliynyk. This time he does follow up with some uppercuts as Oliynyk looks hurt but Rosholt slows down and looks like he is trying to save his energy to last the full fight. Rosholt looks like he could finish this fight at any point on the feet.

Then from nowhere a left hook floors Rosholt and just to make sure Oliynyk follows up with a couple of hammer fists to knock out Rosholt cold making sure he gets the victory. What a come back from Oliynyk who was badly hurt about a minute earlier in the first round.

That win ended the run for Rosholt and proved that Oliynyk is a legitimate threat at heavyweight and what a way to pick up the 50th win of your career.

Official Decision: Oleksiy Oliynyk defeats Jared Rosholt by KO 3:21 Round 1
