Brazilian heavyweight Jailton Almeida marked his fifth straight win in the Octagon after a quick first round submission victory over Jairzinho Rozenstruik in the main event of UFC on ABC 4 this Saturday night at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Starring in the first headlining event of his career, Almeida got the better of Rozenstruik right from the start, averting the power of the Surinamese fighter on multiple occasions before pulling off a prompt stoppage on the ground.
While a knockout win for Rozenstruik was predicted before the fight, Almeida was able to take the fight down to the canvas, pulling his opponent into a rear naked choke and forcing the tap at the 3:43 minute mark of the first round.
“When I come down with the pressure, no one can get me,” stated Almeida after the win through an interpreter.
