Following Alistair Overeem’s loss to Alexander Volkov at UFC Vegas 18, the legend is pointing to a broken hose he incurred in the fight, as a pivotal moment in the defeat .

Overeem faced Volkov in the main event of Saturday’s event, and the fight was called in round two, after the Dutch fighter went to the deck from punches.

Since then, the 40-year-old heavyweight has shared out the comments below.

You’re a true warrior @volkov_alex Congrats on the win!

Yesterday wasn’t my night. I could not recover from that punch in the first round after I broke my nose.

My highest priority right now is to heal up and spend some well deserved time with the family. I’ll be back in the gym soon though.

Thank you all for your support! I see the comments, you guys are the best.

With the defeat, Overeem’s MMA record now stands at 47-19.
