Will Jairzinho Rozenstruik win against Augusto Sakai at UFC Vegas 28?
Although the odds currently favor 'Bigi Boy' in his upcoming fight against Sakai, the momentum does not seem to be on Rozenstruik's side.
The Surinamese fighter started his career in impressive fashion as he gained knockout wins over heavyweight legends like Andrei Arlovski and Alistair Overeem. But Rozenstruik has now lost two of his last three fights.
'Bigi Boy' left many of his fans disappointed with his latest performance against Ciryl Gane as he lost a unanimous decision in a five-round main event.
Two fights before that, Rozenstruik was brutally knocked out by current heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in just 20 seconds into the opening round.
Now, 'Bigi Boy' will have to pull out something spectacular in order to put himself back in contention for a title shot. But this would not be a cakewalk as he will be facing a tough opponent in Sakai, who has won 6 of his last 7 fights.
Both fighters have scored the majority of their wins via knockout. So, fans will have high expectations from the two in terms of putting up an exciting fight.
