News RIZIN's heavyweight kickboxer Jairzinho Rozenstruik signs with UFC; faces Junior Albini on Feb 2

[executionermma]

Surinamese kickboxer Jairzinho "Bigi Boy" Rozenstruik (6-0, 5 KOs) has signed with UFC and will replace Dmitry Sosnovskiy, who got injured again, against Junior "Diapers" Albini in Fortaleza, Brazil.

As a kickboxer the 30-years-old striker has a record of 76-6-2, with 64 KOs. He holds a knockout win over #3 HW kickboxer in the world Benjamin Adegbuyi.

He fought for RIZIN in May against Ukrainian Andrey Kovalev (9-1) and won by decision, after being caught greasing before the fight, what led him to receive a yellow card.

He will probably be on par with ngannou unless he knows how to grapple.

 

[Buff]

52 KOs... Damn.

This is great news... Now they need about another 30 or so HWs and LHWs and we have our divisions back!

 

[MrZero]

I'll be live

 

[Blazmo]

Just looked through this guy's MMA record. Looks quite poor but quality of competition rarely has much of an impact on a fighter's performance IMO and this is heavyweight.

 

[misterfurious]

Great, I’m down for any new hwt blood they want to bring in

 

[Luthien]

Cool

 

[TR1]

I'll take anything I can get for HW.

 

[Rex Kwon Do]

RIP Big Baby

 

[linch]

Feed him Greg Hardy

[w00t]

Albini better wear his diaper for this one.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

They call him Big Melvin.

First UFC fighter from Suriname?

I'm not exactly sure but i would say so.
Manhoef was born on Suriname but as we know he never got a shot in UFC, which is a damn shame.

 

[VinceArch]

Watch him KO a few fighters and Sherdog will be on his sack like they were with Francis.

 

[The Clark]

won by decision, after being caught greasing before the fight, what led him to receive a yellow card.

Why did they even let him fight? Ridiculous.
