Report – Jairzinho Rozenstruik released from contract after UFC Saudi Arabia loss

Veteran striking talent, Jairzinho Rozenstruik has been released from his contract with the promotion following his disappointing UFC Saudi Arabia decision loss against Russian puncher, Sergei Pavlovich over the weekend, bringing an end to his six year tenure inside the Octagon.

Rozenstruik, who entered his showdown with former interim title chaser, Pavlovich as the current number nine ranked contender at the heavyweight limit, saw his two-fight winning run halted in his forgettable judging loss to the form, following a pair of successive victories over both Shamil Gaziev in a main event spot, as well as Australian knockout puncher, Tai Tuivasa.
