After a defeat to Serghei Pavlovich, Jairzinho Rozenstruik discussed what went wrong during UFC Saudi Arabia, citing paint fumes and an early injury as key factors. He revealed he felt dizzy due to the fumes and sustained a foot injury shortly after the fight began, which altered his ability to perform. Although cut by the UFC following the loss, Rozenstruik expressed gratitude for his journey in the organization since 2018 and vows to continue fighting, taking on new challenges in the future.
Let's talk about UFC Saudi Arabia. I came to Riyadh to win and pull off the upset. After a strong fight week, I felt dizzy on Saturday due to the paint fumes. Then, just 70 seconds into the fight, I injured my left foot. The moment my switch kick landed on his elbow, I felt it instantly and knew the fight would play out differently than planned.
At the end of 2018, I signed my first contract with the UFC, embarking on an incredible journey. I've been honored to compete on the biggest stage, and I want to express my deepest gratitude to the UFC staff for their professionalism and support over the years.
From being Rookie of the Year to becoming an MMA veteran, this has been an unforgettable adventure. While this chapter closes, my story is far from over. I will continue to fight, take on new challenges, and settle unfinished business in the cage.
