A heavyweight showdown between contenders Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Jailton Almeida has been booked for a May 13th UFC Fight Night.
MMA Fighting was the first to report the news of the Rozenstruik/Almeida matchup.
Rozenstruik, a mainstay in the UFC’s heavyweight division, will look to continue his winning ways after a knockout of Chris Daukaus at UFC 282. He’s looking to stop Almeida’s momentum and move closer to a potential heavyweight title shot.
Rozenstruik has had an up-and-down three years in the Octagon after four straight wins to begin his promotional tenure. He suffered a 20-second knockout loss to Francis Ngannou at UFC 249 and has traded wins and losses ever since.
Rozenstruik hasn’t won consecutive fights since 2019 when he earned back-to-back knockouts over Andrei Arlovski and Alistair Overeem.
Almeida has surged up the heavyweight ranks with four straight wins to begin his UFC career. He earned a shot in the Octagon after a win on Dana White’s Contender Series in 2021.
Almeida has responded to the opportunity with a remarkable run, with recent finishes of Anton Turkalj and Shamil Abdurakhimov. Just four wins into his promotional tenure, he landed a spot in the heavyweight rankings.

Here’s what MMA Twitter had to say about Rozenstruik vs. Almeida.

A very fun matchup, a true test for Jailton. I think he has all the weapons to win this fight, but things can get ugly without the takedown, Rozenstruik has THE power. Malhadinho x Jairzinho, the fight most heavily influenced by Brazilian nicknames. https://t.co/kfWZyQAyNk— Tadeu on MMA (@TadeuMMA) February 20, 2023





Rozenstruik vs. Almeida will be a three-round contest and adds to an impressive card on May 13th. The card is headlined by a light heavyweight clash between Anthony Smith and Johnny Walker.
A venue and location for the May 13th UFC Fight Night have yet to be announced.
