Jairzinho Rozenstruik is no longer part of the UFC-roster, but according to reports, he wasn’t even informed before the decision was made.

Despite his recent loss to Sergei Pavlovich in Saudi Arabia, Jairzinho still had three fights left on his contract.
However, as journalist Cole Shelton reports, the UFC exercised its contractual right to terminate the agreement immediately—a clause they can invoke following a fighter’s defeat (in most cases).

‘Bigi Boy’ made his UFC debut in 2019 as an undefeated MMA fighter, also bringing with him an impressive Kickboxing record of 76-8 (64 KO).
Over the years, the Surinamese Heavyweight competed 15 times under the UFC banner, securing 9 wins and headlining six events in the process.

Now, with his UFC run officially over, he departs with a professional MMA record of 15-6 (13 KO).

What’s next for the 36-year-old Jairzinho Rozenstruik?

Should he explore free agency in promotions like PFL / ONE Championship, or could we see him return to his Kickboxing roots?👇🏽

I'd love to see him come back to kickboxing to get some fat boy fights (Glory), but its probably not happening. My guess is PFL gives him 100-300k to fight there.

I know the last fight was boring as hell, but Sergei did fuck all either. He only lost to Gane, Volkov, Blaydes, Almeida, Sergei, Ngannou. I mean, I said this in the other thread, but why would you cut a guy like that? Heavyweight division is rather thin already as is. He only ever lost to the best of the best, I know some were saying he's gatekeeper. Trust me you, when you finish HW Overeem in the fifth round, you are way better than a gatekeeper.

I mean shit like this is why I make thread like these.

UFC just don't care man, it's pretty fucked up. I guess they are too busy sucking off Donald Trump though, I guess priorities.
 
UFC contracts are such bullshit. They can cut a fighter after a loss but the fighter doesn't have the same freedom. Yet the UFC considers fighters as "independent contractors" to prevent the UFC from giving them healthcare etc.
 
Kinda bizarre. There were a lot of comments in the PBP about him being boring, but he's really just patient when it's necessary. A lot of quick KOs on his record, and not a lot of decisions, win or lose.

I'm chalking this up to refusing to hold a Saudi's hand, and they snapped their fingers at Dana, who ran over to hold said hand, and promised he'd get rid of Jairzinho.
 
If i was glory, id be begging izzy to comeback and being in rozenstrik, just to have name recognition to build the card for the states

It's because he's boring but could potentially beat some of the younger guys they have coming up. If you're like that then generally speaking they want you out of the way.
 
Funny how it works, Jarzinho cleans up Tuivasa easily (don't believe the split cards), drops one and gets the arse. Tai has dropped 5 in a row and is still under contract as far as I know.
I'm guessing Tai is paid a lot less money.

Sucks Jairzinho had to hear about his release from someone other than his employer, that's the type of corporate shitbag behavior that's inexcusable.
 
Was clearly to make way for such incredible fighters as Don’Tale Mayes and Jhonata Diniz in the rankings

Very strange release, Marcos rogerio de Lima has also dropped out the rankings (don’t think he’s been released), heavyweight is starved of talent so I have no idea why they’re doing this, those 10-15 spots are becoming as equally talented as the 10-15 spots at women’s bantamweight.

Seems the only requirement you need to be ranked in those divisions is being signed (optional)
