Media Jairzinho Rozenstruik reveals he had 3 fights left on his UFC contract before being cut without notice

[Neck&Neck]

He will move on to GFL and do bigger and better things

I have been a fan of his for a while, but it's hard. I don't blame the UFC for cutting him. I don't think it was about the loss, I think it was about his lack of effort.

people on here needs to make up their minds, whenever the UFC cuts someone it’s crying and whining? I don’t understand? Isn’t the UFC the big bad wolf? Shouldn’t people be happy Rozentrusik is finally free from the tyranny of the Dana White?

People on here are so confused with their hate for the UFC, flip flopping all over the place.

He will move on to GFL and do bigger and better things

If he moves to GFL he'll be lucky to do things, much less bigger and better things. The chances that GFL can actually afford to put on a real series, much less season, of fights with its roster are something like the chances of Conor McGregor sobering up and becoming UFC LW champion again. Maybe a few backyard fights with bottom-of-their-roster types will get staged as things stand, but that's the optimistic take.

i put GFL, because he'd probably be the youngest HW on the roster, but he should go to BKFC for that $25m tournament.

Meanwhile wmma ita ok to lose 3 plus fights in a row and still not be cut

Was kind of sudden. I suspect he was sniffing around one of Dana's ring girls.

And for the love of God, when will they fix this forum? I mean...

I'd rather they bring Rozenstruik back, they can leave the forum layout, you know, it gives some dystopia vibes. Imagine a world where every web designer is born blind (because of a fucking prophecy) and, thus, the whole internet looks like the current sherdog

He could probably dominate the HW's at GFL but would they pay him better than PFL?

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.

Tai has headlined, I don’t know how much effect that would still have on dough, you might be right though

Was the fight particularly egregious? He's not on a losing streak, was in the top 10 and lost to a top 5 opponent.

The timing of it works well for that Glory 32 man tournament.

You're the only one confused, bud.

I guess so.

Biggest problem with Rozenstruick IMO isn't that he's a patient counterstriker, it's that his grappling is useless. It's barely gotten any better since his debut. If you take him down or if he slips or gets knocked down, he's probably gonna spend the rest of the round locking up your leg in half guard.

He's never going to be champ because his grappling is so very limited, but he can still beat a lot of younger fighters with more upside.

That said I would have kept Rozenstruick around and I think it's really unprofessional that the UFC released him without telling him first. Like at least wait for him to get home from Saudi Arabia, give it a day or two then give him a phone call.

Tuivasa is a fan favorite … jairzinho not so much …

This is a bit weird isnt it, it's not like HW is overflowing with ''decent' guys. Bigi Boi could be boring at times but he's better than most of their fucking division.

 

[CatchtheseHands]

I'm sad that they did rozen like this and it sucks he got cut early without being informed. It's pretty clear this fight was made to be his last chance as Pav and Rozen stylistically match up well. However it went way differently than expected. Even still, I don't think it's fair that they are punishing Rozen for the boring fight when they were both at fault.

Perhaos not every case is the same and some ufc decicions warrant backlash while others don't?

 

[Brigfa2]

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.

Time to start a boycott the UFC trend on Twitter!
