Rozenstruik is big but Gaziev is massive #UFCVegas88

I thought this mdfk was a wrestler #UFCVegas87

We'll see if it lasts but Rozenstruik clearly worked on the TDD. Taken down now though, with under a minute to go. Let's see if he can get back up/survive the round. #UFCVegas87

For the first time today I've thought "lol this is so bad."

Not great that that happens during the main event. #UFCVegas87

10-9 Gaziev after R1

— Aaron Bronsteter (@aaronbronsteter) March 2, 2024

We're still in round 2???? #UFCVegas87

— Stephie Haynes (@CrooklynMMA) March 2, 2024

This has been a tough watch through 10 minutes. Maybe 19-19.

— Nick Baldwin (@NickBaldwinMMA) March 2, 2024

The Co-Main and Main event ruined this card 😭 #UFCVegas87

HEAVYWEIGHT APEX MAIN EVENTS FOREVER

— Matthew Wells (@MrMWells) March 2, 2024

19-19

— Aaron Bronsteter (@aaronbronsteter) March 2, 2024

Surely Rozenstruik will put a 2 behind one of these 1000 jabs.

— Matthew Wells (@MrMWells) March 2, 2024

29-28 Rozenstruik

Gaziev's winning conditions seem to be diminishing with each passing second

— Aaron Bronsteter (@aaronbronsteter) March 2, 2024

Rozenstruik Jab is on point. Should really pick up the leg kicks this round. That leg is hurting #UFCVegas87

— “Wonderboy” Thompson (@WonderboyMMA) March 2, 2024

Gaziev trying to get every extra bit of oxygen into his lungs but doing it via not having your mouthguard firmly on your gums is not only indicative of an exhausted fighter, it’s extremely dangerous to do if you’re fighting in the HW division.

— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) March 2, 2024

Gaziev's corner tells him he needs a takedown, and he'll win the fight. Certainly his clearest path to victory. #UFCVegas87

— Cageside Press (@Cagesidepress) March 2, 2024

Once again: tough to win a fight getting jabbed in the face incessantly. Gaziev not having much of an answer for the simplest striking weapon

— Jimmy Smith (@jimmysmithmma) March 2, 2024

Rosenstruik’s jab is money in this fight !! Can he keep it up for another 2 rounds ? #UFCFightNight

That’s too much talking from Gaziev in the corner!

— Alan Jouban (@AlanJouban) March 2, 2024

Good on Marc Goddard doing right by the fighter. Excellently handled.

— Jason Anik (@bostonanik) March 2, 2024

Ok he’s done !!

— JIMI MANUWA (@POSTERBOYJM) March 2, 2024

Gaziev doesn’t have the options he needs in this fight. Head movement, front kicks, parrying…gonna have to just walk through traffic to get the takedown R5. #UFCVegas87

— Laura Sanko (@laura_sanko) March 2, 2024

Well never mind lol

— Laura Sanko (@laura_sanko) March 2, 2024

Legendary Marc Goddard scolding there.

Decent card overall. Started off super hot and kinda fizzled out by the end, but worth it for the Vinicius Oliveira/Steve Erceg knockouts alone. Plus my one play (Rozenstruik +160) hit pretty easily. Good stuff. #UFCVegas87 #DKpartner

— Robbie Fox (@RobbieBarstool) March 2, 2024

Jairzinho Rozenstruik now has the most UFC knockouts since 2019 with eight. #UFCVegas87

Goddard did a fantastic job there. Sensed there was an issue/injury. Did a little investigation and stopped the fight. Not the cleanest/greatest of fights but good on Rozenstruik to turn it up in round 4.

It felt more like he just didn’t think he could win anymore, rather than his eye actually being an issue. #UFCVegas87
