What Is Next For Jairzinho Rozenstruik After a Buzzer-Beating Win at UFC Vegas 28?

Jairzinho Rozenstruik made a statement tonight with a win over Augusto Sakai. The heavyweight from Suriname bounced back brilliantly into the win column after a loss against Ciryl Gane in his last outing. The heavyweight division is brimming with top talent right now. There are a lot of fighters who can challenge for the title with a few more wins under their belt, Rozenstruik is one such fighter. 

Although ‘Bigi Boy’ was knocked out by the current champion in less than one round, he has since improved his game by leaps and bounds. With the win tonight, Rozenstruik has thrown his name right back in the mix among the top heavyweights. We take a look at what could be next for the hard-hitting ‘Bigi Boy’ after his win tonight.

Jairzinho Rozenstruik vs Curtis Blaydes anyone?

‘Bigi Boy’ is currently ranked number 6th in the heavyweight division and he will surely gain a few places once the revised rankings come out on Tuesday. Rozenstruik is 3-2 in his last five fights and will be aiming to build on his win streak in a bid to fight for the title as soon as possible. Most of the fighters ranked above him are either booked for a fight or have beaten him.

However, there is one heavyweight who is ranked above him who recently suffered a devastating loss and will be looking to bounce back into the win column. 

‘The Black Beast’ knocked out Curtis Blaydes in their title eliminator fight earlier this year which put to halt a four-fight win streak. Which included wins over the likes of Alexander Volkov, Junior dos Santos, Shamil Abdurakhimov, and Justin Willis. 

‘Razor’ vs ‘Biggi Boy’ could be an epic matchup for both men. For ‘Razor’ it will be a good opportunity to test himself against a dangerous knockout artist in red-hot form. And for ‘Biggi Boy’ it will be a huge test stylistically. Rozenstruik is not exactly known for his wrestling pedigree, unlike Blaydes. It will be interesting to see how ‘Biggi Boy’ copes with the relentless wrestling that ‘Razor’ brings to the table.
