Jairzino Rozenstruik delivered on the hype, sort of. Rozenstruik and Alistair Overeem’s main event was met with boos throughout a majority of the five-round bout, with Overeem up 4-0 on the judges’ scorecards entering the final round. And then, with just four seconds left, Rozenstruik delivered what will likely be one of the viral clips of 2019.
Rozenstruik landed a monstrous right hand that split the lip of Overeem and the fight was called instantly. It’s one of the nastier wounds you’ll ever see in the Octagon.
Aspen Ladd got back on track in finishing Yana Kunitskaya. Ladd suffered her first loss to Germaine de Randamie a few months ago and de Randamie proceeded to earn a title fight against Amanda Nunes (next week at UFC 245). Ladd avenged the missed opportunity in dominant fashion. She’s now 9-1.
