The soccer world’s loss is the MMA world’s gain, as Jailton Almeida’s decision to leave the pitch for the Octagon is clearly paying dividends. In his first main event showcase against Jairzinho Rozenstruik, he didn’t miss a beat, moving to 5-0 with five finishes in the UFC with a first-round submission. The victory was a major one for perhaps the best grappler in the division, and as the stakes keep rising, you get the impression that he will rise to the occasion each time. A year from now, we may be talking of the Brazilian in a title fight.
