Jairzinho Rozenstruik has lastly spoken out after being lower from the UFC roster.
Rozenstruik endured a crushing unanimous resolution defeat this previous weekend towards former interim UFC heavyweight title challenger Sergei Pavlovich at UFC Saudi Arabia in Riyadh. The bout was disappointingly lopsided, prompting criticism from UFC CEO Dana White in its aftermath.
Shockingly, simply two days later, information broke that “Bigi Boy” had been launched from his UFC contract, bringing an finish to his six-year run with the promotion.
On Thursday, Rozenstruik took to social media to handle the UFC’s resolution and mirror on his underwhelming efficiency. Curiously, he partially attributed his struggles to the locker room’s paint fumes, claiming they left him feeling dizzy earlier than the combat.
“I got here to Riyadh to win and pull off the upset. After a robust combat week, I felt dizzy on Saturday because of the paint fumes. Then, simply 70 seconds into the combat, I injured my left foot. The second my change kick landed on his elbow, I felt it immediately and knew the combat would play out otherwise than deliberate.
“On the finish of 2018, I signed my first contract with the @ufc, embarking on an unimaginable journey. I’ve been honored to compete on the largest stage, and I wish to categorical my deepest gratitude to the UFC workers for his or her professionalism and assist over time. Thanks.
“From being Rookie of the 12 months to turning into an MMA veteran, this has been an unforgettable journey. Whereas this chapter closes, my story is way from over. I’ll proceed to combat, tackle new challenges, and settle unfinished enterprise within the cage. I’m prepared for no matter comes subsequent!” Rozenstruik wrote on X.
“Bigi Boy” made his Octagon debut in in February 2019 with a third-round knockout victory over Junior Albini, finally amassing a promotional document of 9-6, with eight of these wins coming by knockout.
Nonetheless, Rozenstruik struggled to search out his rhythm within the later levels of his tenure, falling in need of his true potential as he went 5-6 in his final 11 outings.
