Overeem once again showed why that he’s among the most lethal strikers in all of combat sports, stunning Duffee with a right hand to the ear and then finishing him with a big left hand to the chin. The fight lasted only 19 seconds.

“This year I won three world titles,” Overeem said in the ring after the knockout. “Strikeforce, then K-1, and now Dream. And I promise you all, I’m going to keep giving you great fights.”

“I want to thank Frank [Fertitta], Lorenzo [Fertitta] and Dana [White] for all that you ‘I have done for me over the years and for the sport. Most of all, I want to thank my fans, my family , “Liddell said before choking up.

“I love this sport and I ‘m excited to enter into a new phase of my life and continue to promote the best sport in the world and the sport I love. They ‘ re giving me the opportunity again to continue to promote and keep doing stuff now that I ‘m retired. ”

The 41-year-old Liddell ended his legendary career with a record of 21-8. He made his UFC debut at UFC 17 and MMA May 15, 1998, defeating Noe Hernandez by unanimous decision. After losing to Jeremy Horn at UFC 19, Liddell would go on to win his next 10 fights in a row before losing an interim light heavyweight title fight against Randy Couture at UFC 43. Liddell eventually won the 205-pound title at UFC 52 in April 2005, defeating Couture in the second round. He successfully defended the title four straight times before losing the belt to Quinton Jackson at UFC 71. This loss marked the end of Liddell ‘s dominance in the UFC, as he went 1-4 in his next five fights, including losing his last three fights in a row. Liddell ‘s last battle will go down as a loss of 115 first-round TKO at UFC Rich Franklin.

The pre-fight press conference usually includes some pre-fight trash talk, although Edgar and Maynard have been awfully quiet on that front. The UFC may be counting on the talkative Leben to sell the pay-per-view.

The press conference begins at 4 PM ET and the video is below.

The 25 year old Duffee is 6-1 with his last fight being a knock-out loss to Mike Russow at UFC 114. He was realeased from the UFC after that fight, with Dana White making the following comments on the former UFC heavyweight “You guys don’t see it. You don’t know. I deal with tons of guys. We have hundreds of guys under contract and I’ve had thousands of guys under contract over the last ten years and Todd Duffee, to me, doesn’t seem like he wants to be in the UFC. He doesn’t like being in the UFC. Let him go fight in the smaller organizations and work his way back up, if he even wants to work his way back up and get back into the UFC. He just came off a knockout. He got knocked out in his fight and he’s got a horrible attitude. He’s got a horrible attitude. He can still go back and train and fight in these smaller leagues and work on his skills and his attitude.”

Overeem 33-11 (1 NC) recently won the K-1 world Grand Prix in Tokyo and this will be only his second MMA fight this year, his first being the Strikeforce Heavyweight title defense where he dominated Brett Rogers.

Other fights signed for the traditional New Year’s Eve show at the Saitama Super Arena are Jerome Le Banner vs. Satoshi Ishii, Bibiano Fernandes vs. Hiroyuki Takaya, Marius Zaromskis vs. Kazushi Sakuraba and Josh Thomson vs. Tatsuya Kawajiri.

Dynamite 2010 will air live in North America on HDNet.

“With Sonnen, he is more wrestling [based]. I trained with him one time at Xtreme Couture and I killed him there. I think he is a good opponent for me. I think its fun, no? Because sometimes I talk, we talk, its making the fight more interesting. I like to talk about my opponents, no problem. I am not afraid of anybody. I’ve fought with heavyweights, light-heavyweights… for me its no problem, I fight with all!”

“It was a few years ago so a lot has changed for him and definitely for me. We’re all going to find out whether or not I can beat Maynard on January 1st, so hopefully that will shut everybody up. Maybe what they’re saying will ring true and maybe it won’t. He gets his job done. He gets a lot of flack for not being the most entertaining guy, but that’s not what it’s about. He wins. Nate Diaz and Kenny Florian tear people up and he’s beaten both of them, so I’ve got to give it to him.”
