Top 10 heavyweights looking to get back into the win column following main event setbacks headline here in Las Vegas as Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Augusto Sakai square off inside the UFC APEX.
Following a rookie campaign that saw him win four fights in 11 months to rocket into contention, Rozenstruik has dropped two of his last three as he’s looked to establish himself as a true championship threat, falling to current champ Francis Ngannou and emerging standout Ciryl Gane, with a victory over Junior Dos Santos sandwiched in between.
Sakai similarly began his UFC tenure with four straight victories to work his way into the main event picture, where he ran into Alistair Overeem last fall and suffered his first loss in nearly three years.
