Following UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs Lewis produced this past weekend (highlights here), the next edition of UFC Vegas continues the heavyweight action inside the Octagon on February 27 (Feb 28 in Australia). The headline bout features the division’s ranked No.3 contender Jairzinho Rozenstruik up against ranked No.7 competitor Ciryl Gane.
Rozenstruik (11-1) won his previous bout in August 2020 via second-round TKO against Junior dos Santos. In May the same year he was handed his first career defeat by KO in Round 1, courtesy of Francis Ngannou, which snapped his ten-win streak. Before that “Bigi Boy” knocked out Alistair Overeem in Round 5, and secured a pair of first-round stoppages against Andrei Arlovski and Allen Crowder.
Unbeaten Gane (7-0) last fought in December 2020, taking the second-round TKO against dos Santos. Prior to that he scored a unanimous decision against Tanner Boser, and submitted Don’Tale Mayes and Raphael Pessoa in the third and first round, respectively.
