It took Jairzinho Rozenstruik nearly 25 minutes, but he got the job done in his first UFC headline fight. At the 4:56 mark of the fifth and final round of Saturday night’s UFC on ESPN 7 main event, Rozenstruik (10-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) punched his way to a TKO victory over veteran Alistair Overeem , capping an incredible UFC debut year in which Rozenstruik went 4-0 with four finishes. After minimal striking on the feet in the opening minutes of the first round, Overeem (45-18 MMA, 10-7 UFC) dragged Rozenstruik to the ground. For the majority of the first, Overeem remained in side control. Throughout the second and third rounds, Overeem’s game plan was apparent – stay on the outside and clinch when possible.
