The fight was a tough one. Despite a very strong round one, Harris succumbed to a barrage of punches in late round 2 hence losing the fight. In his post-fight interview, he made it clear that he wasn’t going to step away from the sport just yet. However, that doesn’t mean that the loss wasn’t a tough one.
Harris in his post-fight statement said,
Even Overeem was very considerate following the fight, he immediately hugged Harris and asked him to train with him in the future. With this loss, Harris’s record now falls to13-8 (1NC). The fight at the same time managed to establish that Overeem still has plenty of fight left in him.
