Jairzinho Rozenstruik’s callout didn’t fall on deaf ears.
The Surinamese fighter made waves in the UFC’s heavyweight division on Saturday night at UFC on ESPN 7 in Washington D.C. Rozenstruik (10-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) viciously knocked out seasoned veteran Alistair Overeem (45-18 MMA, 10-7 UFC) with just four seconds reaming on their main event bout. It was a gruesome scene.
After the fight, Rozenstruik took to the mic to send some words to top contender Francis Ngannou.
“I want to be back in April and I really want to fight this big scary guy Francis Ngannou,” Rozenstruik said. “So if you hear this right now, I hope you accept this fight. Man, let’s give those people a great show.”
It didn’t take long for Ngannou (14-3 MMA, 9-2 MMA) to hop on Twitter and respond to Rozenstruik:
“I heard you babayga. You made yourself very clear tonight. Congrats on your come back by the way. #uncrowndedchamp #UFCDC”
