Jairzinho Rozenstruik has redemption on his mind. Suriname’s “Bigi Boy” (11-2) was unanimously swept on the judge’s scorecards by Ciryl Gane last time out in February’s UFC Vegas 20 headliner, his momentum for a title push halted again. The 33-year-old heavyweight enters his third headlining spot against Augusto Sakai (15-2-1) on Saturday night at the UFC Apex. Although the Brazilian lacks the high-profile name like some of his previous opponents, Rozenstruik is not taking the match-up lightly. “We are in the top 15, top 10,” he told SCMP MMA. “All of us are badass. Everybody is going there to do his best. I put the pressure on myself. I have something to get straight so I want to get the ‘W’. Doesn’t matter how. “I’m going to be aggressive. Do all I can to win. I have to stop that man so that’s the only thing that counts for me. This [the Gane fight] is not my style, not my way of fighting. “I have to erase it. You cannot erase it, like, literally. But put down a crazy performance, make people know ‘all right, now he’s there again and we can still believe in him’. That’s what I’m going for.” Frenchman Gane executed an effective game plan against Rozenstruik, but he was able to cruise safely to the finish line without much resistance – and most did not expect such a poor showing from the individual who holds one of the fastest knockouts in UFC heavyweight history. “A performance like that from me is worse,” Rozenstruik said. “I could not get loose. The fight for me was really bad. If you lose in something it isn’t good. “I don’t want to say anything, ‘because of that, because of this’. I went into the Octagon to do my thing. It didn’t go my way. So it was a really bad day for me. You can’t change it, so we go back to the drawing board with the team and work on it.” The disappointment of his second loss in the Octagon had an impact on Rozenstruik, but hasn’t overwhelmed the American Top Team member – and the race to become the “baddest man on the planet” is still the goal. “It’s crazy but the only thing I do is take some time for myself,” he said. “I’m the only one who can change it. So just train hard. Try to look at the camp, how things go, maybe see what went wrong. And you analyse it and make sure it doesn’t happen again. “The first couple of days I was really on myself. I didn’t want to talk to no one. Watched the fight over and over again. I see mistakes. See what I could’ve done. That is the motivation part because when you see something, you will not let that happen again.”
