Jairzinho Rozenstruik: Wants to start a series

“First of all, it's a great feeling to go out there and perform like that,” Rozenstruik said of his performance in early March. “You know you want to win, but you never know how you're going to do it. It depends on the opponent, how they react and where they wanted to go. It was a great feeling to get a win like that and I'm looking forward to more.”

“I felt it, but at the same time I stuck to the game plan. We worked on what we wanted to do and the fight went the way we expected: he comes, wants to wrestle, is aggressive, tries to bully him, but you make him miss, tire him out and start finishing him off.

“I felt great!” he added when asked what it was like going into the fourth round, unusual territory for a man who had only made it past the second round three times in his previous 12 appearances in the Octagon. “I had good endurance and didn't feel tired at all. I thought to myself, 'Let me go a few more rounds, let me pick up the pace.'”

As good as he felt physically in the fight, his mental state was just as important, because that is the most important thing for the martial arts veteran, who has already completed over a hundred fights in kickboxing and mixed martial arts.
