No-shows Charlotte main event
Rozenstruik lost to Jailton Almeida via submission (rear-naked choke) at 3:43 of Round 1 at UFC on ABC 4 on Saturday in Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
This appeared to be an impossible spot for Rozenstruik on paper, and it played out exactly that way once the bell rang. Entering as a +360 underdog, largest on the entire card, Jair was non-competitive in defending an early takedown attempt, with the fight essentially being over the second he hit the mat. Rozenstruik's power is legitimate, but he has zero means of generating any secondary offense, and he's a below-average athlete for the heavyweight division. It's not a great combination. A loser of four of his last six dating back to February 2021, there's an overwhelming likelihood we have already seen the best Jair has to offer inside the Octagon.

ANALYSIS
Rozenstruik is coming off one of his strongest showings of his career last December against Chris Daukaus. He will look to get back to .500 over the course of his last eight bouts with a win against Almeida.

Destroys Chris Daukaus
Rozenstruik defeated Chris Daukaus via KO (punch) at 0:23 of Round 1 at UFC 282 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Easy work. Rozenstruik lacks traditional athleticism and isn't going to win many (or any) fights if his power strikes aren't landing, but this performance is a perfect example of what can happen when they do connect. Jair blasted Daukaus with a couple big shots moments after the opening bell rang, and that was essentially all she wrote. Rozenstruik has no history of hanging with better competition and that almost certainly will not change considering he will be turning 35 years of age next March, but there's more than enough here for Jair to continue to blast fringe-roster fighters such as Daukaus. The effort would also go on to earn him a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus.
