UFC Vegas 28: Rozenstruik vs. Sakai - Winners and Losers
Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC Jairzinho Rozenstruik was one of the big winners at UFC Vegas 28.If Jairzinho Rozenstruik didn’t have a reputation as a last-second finisher before UFC Vegas 28, he might have earned that standing with his stoppage win over Augusto Sakai.
Rozenstruik, who finished Alistair Overeem at 4:56 of Rd. 5 of their 2019 scrap, wrapped his main event matchup opposite Augusto Sakai at 4:59 of the first stanza on Saturday.
There was not much aggression in the early going of the heavyweight contest. For most of the first round, Rozenstruik controlled the center of the octagon while Sakai circled on the outside unimpeded.
