Jailton Almeida extended his win streak to five with a first-round submission victory at UFC Charlotte on Saturday.
‘Malhadinho’ made easy work of No. 9 ranked heavyweight contender Jairzinho Rozenstruik in the afternoon’s main event showcase. ‘Bigi Boi’ attempted to bring some early pressure in order to get Almeida backpedaling as a way to combat an inevitable takedown attempt from the Brazilian standout. Unfortunately for Rozenstruik, his efforts were ineffective as Almeida was able to wrestle the big man down and dominate, as expected.
Securing a rear-naked choke submission in the opening round, Jailton Almeida should find himself ranked in the division’s top ten come Monday morning.
