The fight started out at a relatively slow pace as both men initially felt each other out. However, as the fight progressed, ‘Bigi Boy’ started landing more of his offense. Towards the end of round one, Rozenstruik clipped Sakai with a left hook as he was circling away from him. This immediately dropped Sakai to the floor, and the referee stepped in after ‘Bigi Boy’ landed a few unanswered strikes.

‘Bigi Boy’ put out a tweet after a quick night at the office.

12-2-0 Suriname for the win!

Going into the fight, Rozenstruik was 1-2 in his last three fights with a win against Junior Dos Santos sandwiched in between losses to Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane. ‘Bigi Boy’ took on a big risk by going against a dangerous knockout artist in Sakai.

However, Rozenstruik proved once again why he is considered one of the scariest knockout artists in the division as a left hook that barely grazed Sakai’s chin put his lights out. After a quick night at the office, Rozenstruik will be aiming to get back in the octagon as soon as possible to extend his win streak.
