Jairzinho Rozenstruik validated himself as a heavyweight contender Saturday when he rallied to stop Alistair Overeem in the final seconds of the UFC on ESPN 7 main event.
Rozenstruik (10-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) was down big on the scorecards when he pulled off a miraculous one-punch TKO of Overeem (45-18 MMA, 10-7 UFC) in the heavyweight headliner, which took place at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.
With the win, Rozenstruik remained undefeated in his MMA career and is coming off back-to-back finishes of heavyweight legends in Overeem and Andrei Arlovski.
After the fight, he called for a showdown with Francis Ngannou (14-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) in 2020. “The Predator” seemingly obliged on social media, but is that the matchup that makes the most sense for Rozenstruik?
Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on his future after the big win at UFC on ESPN 7.
