The Octagon remained in Nevada for tonight’s UFC Vegas 28 event, a thirteen-bout fight card headlined by Jairzinho Rozenstruik vs. Augusto Sakai.
The highly anticipated heavyweight main event resulted in another first round finish for ‘Bigi Boy’. After a lengthy feeling out process to begin the fight, Jairzinho Rozenstruik began to apply the pressure in the final two minutes. Eventually he was able to catch Augusto Sakai with a crisp combination that sent the Brazilian crashing down to the canvas. From there, Rozenstruik would finish the job with ground and pound.
In the co-main event of UFC Vegas 28, fellow heavyweights Walt Harris and Marcin Tybura squared off in hopes of moving up the divisional rankings. The bout proved to be a wild back and forth affair. ‘The Big Ticket’ nearly finished the fight in the opening two minutes, but Tybura was able to weather the early storm before earning a takedown. Once on the ground, the Pole would quickly secure a TKO stoppage victory due to strikes.
