Fight 9 - Super Fight Singh "Heart" Jaideep wins by knockout at 2:58 of the first round over Sergey Kharitonov Towards the end of the first round, Kharitonov was stunned with a short right hook and Jaideep took advantage and landed numerous strikes on Kharitonov - Kharitonov tried to hang on and fight back but eventually got tagged with an overhand right that put him down (up at the count of two) - and with less than 10 seconds left in the round, the fight resumed and Jaideep immediately landed an overhand right that sent Kharitonov forward on chicken legs trying to gain his balance and ended up having to hang onto the ropes to keep himself up and the ref quickly jumped in and stopped the bout.
Fight 10 - 2010 K-1 World Grand Prix Tournament Final (2 Rd ext if needed) Alistair Overeem wins by knockout at 1:07 of the first round over Peter Aerts In the first round, Overeem hurt Aerts with a left knee to the body - from that point on, Overeem pounced on Aerts throwing strikes and a knee that forced Aerts to cover up in a corner. As Overeem stepped back to gain a little distance, Aerts just put his arms down and looked like he wanted a standing eight count from the ref. Overeem then quickly came in and landed an overhand right forcing Aerts to cover up again - at this point, the ref started to come in but not before Overeem landed a couple of overhand rights and a left to the body that sent Aerts down. The ref began the count and reached the count of ten at the same time Aerts got up...but it was too late for Aerts, the ref waved the fight over. Alistair Overeem wins the 2010 K-1 World Grand Prix Tournament (and is still the Strikeforce MMA Heavyweight Champion). Peter Aerts went into the final with a cut above his right eye he sustained in the Schilt Semi-Final bout.
