Jairzinho "Bigi Boy" Rozenstruik is making his long-awaited comeback outside the UFC. On June 14, the Surinamese heavyweight will face surprising challenger Devon Schwan in the main event of Dirty Boxing Championship 2 in Miami. The organization officially confirmed the fight Tuesday.
He previously booked big ko's against fighters such as Tai Tuivasa and Shamil Gaziev, and was known for unmatched finishes against former champions Andrei Arlovski, Junior dos Santos and Alistair Overeem (a bos ing upper lip ekte). Yet inconsistency in his recent performances caused his retirement from the world's largest MMA organization.
Opponent Devon Schwan brings a unique mix of fighting experience: from his time at Power Slap to his banging knockout within 64 seconds at BKFC Kansas City last August. Schwan's aggressive style and bluffing ability present a tough test for Rose bush, who is looking to prove his striking and ring intelligence in a non-UFC context.
"Dirty Boxing is all about raw confrontations, non-stop pressure and no escape routes," explains co-owner Mike Perry. "This stage we give to fighters who really want to brawl and fans who demand a spectacle. DBX 2 will be bloody, explosive and unforgettable." Jon Jones, also an investor in the event, added: "With DBX, we are forging decades of martial arts expertise into something authentic and vibrant for the new generation. DBX 2 ushers in a fresh, unmistakable wave."
With his return to Dirty Boxing Championship, "Bigi Boy" will have a chance to solidify his reputation as a knockout specialist and demonstrate that his fighting skills extend beyond the Octagon. Endeavour gears up for a clash in which both champions aim to show that they can stand the test of time and the limits of their sport.
