Jailton Almeida submitted Jairzinho Rozenstruik at UFC Charlotte. The heavyweight main event ended in a first-round submission win for the Brazilian. With the win, the 31-year-old has extended his win streak to 14 in a row.

Almeida is now 5-0 in the UFC with the win over Rozenstruik. He could break into the top 10 in the rankings after beating the number 9-ranked ‘Bigi Boy.’ With his dominant ground game, it is safe to say that ‘Maladinho’ has put the heavyweight division on notice.

While Almeida has cause for celebration, Rozenstruik will have to lick his wounds after his inconsistent run of form continues. The 35-year-old had lost 3 out of his last 5 fights before walking into UFC Charlotte.

Fans react to Jailton Almeida’s win at UFC Charlotte

In a division full of heavy-hitting giants, Jailton Almeida displayed a pure offensive submission game at UFC Charlotte. The 31-year-old took Rozenstruik down with relative ease. He held the Surinamese heavyweight down on the mat and sunk in a rear naked choke as soon as the opportunity presented itself.

With Jon Jones recently ascending the throne at heavyweight, the arrival of ‘Malhadinho’ might make things interesting for the division. “This is Khamzat level,” said Daniel Cormier on commentary after watching the dominant performance from the heavyweight.

Fans on Twitter were also impressed with the win. They were in awe of Almeida’s sheer dominance. Following are some of their reactions.
