Overeem got completely owned and I'd love to see it again except he needs to move on to better things and get another title shot or at least a rematch with Shogun.
And yeah I know I'm wayyyyy late on this but I've just got around to watching it. Freakin school sucks.

The reason it seems to be a freak injury is that he got hit in the right leg, but it seems as if he hurt is left heel. When Arona connected with the left low kick, Overeem moved back, and somehow didnīt manage to correctly back up with his left heel, it seemed as if his foot was paralyzed for a moment and this caused him to fall to the ground. I have to strongly disagree that it was one of those "brutal low kicks". However, even if he moved back in a weird way and injured himself because of that, you still have to give credit to Arona, because it was the low kick that made him back up in the first place. No excuses being made here for Overeem, however I am confident that this totally threw him off.
About getting completely owned, well I see it different. Overeem was actually owning him standing up until that happened, and in Overeemīs guard or side control, Arona couldnīt really land any shots, until he managed to mount his back, by the way the triangle was not as tight as you think, Aronaīs left leg wasnīt even completely locked. It was due to Overeem not defending himself anymore that he was able to keep the mount.
After Overeem tapped, Arona hit him in the face on purpose, and for this gesture alone, I hope that Overeem beats the snot out of him if they fight again. It is behaviour like this that makes people not like him, but that is a different topic.
