UFC 266: Curtis Blaydes vs Jairzinho Rozenstruik- Prediction and Analysis
Follow Us
UFC 266 will see a heavyweight match-up between Curtis Blaydes and Jairzinho Rozenstruik go down in the heavyweight division. Both fighters are currently ranked at the upper echelon of the heavyweight division. Either man will be determined to move closer to a title shot with a win this weekend.
Blaydes got his 4-fight winning streak snapped by Derrick Lewis in his last fight. ‘The Black Beast’ delivered another one of his vicious knockouts in that fight. However, ‘Razor’ remains a sharp outfit despite his loss. He will look to use his signature grappling skills against another knockout artist in Rozenstruik.
Rozenstruik is a lethal striker in his own merit. He has only been bettered by Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane in his MMA career. ‘Bigi Boy’ earned a spectacular knockout finish in his last fight against Agusto Sakai. The Suriname native will look to add Blaydes to his collection.

knockout artists are Blaydes’s kryptonite. Ngannoua and Lewis are the only fighters to win against him in MMA. That being said, Blaydes remains one of the finest grapplers of the heavyweight division. He will be determined to apply those skills against Rozenstruik having suffered a brutal loss in his last fight.
Rozenstruik has always been a bit gun shy, even in his wins. That might prove to be a recipe for disaster against someone like Blaydes. ‘Razor’ might just control Rozenstruik on the ground and eventually land his vicious elbows to earn a T/KO finish on his record.
