The Brazilian heavyweight was slated to meet Dmitriy Sosnovskiy on Feb. 2 in Fortaleza, Brazil, but his opponent has been changed to Jair Rozenstruik, sources confirmed to MMA Fighting following a report by DWT.
Albini (14-4) had an impressive start in the UFC in 2017, finishing Timothy Johnson in less than three minutes.“Baby” went on to lose a decision to former champion Andrei Arlovski in his following bout and tapped to an ezekiel choke against Alexey Oleinik last May. Albini finished 12 opponents in 14 professional victories.
Rozenstruik (6-0) competed once inside the Rizin ring in 2018, defeating previously unbeaten Andrey Kovalev via split decision in the first and only time he needed more than a round to win a MMA fight.
