Jairzinho Rosenstruik
A former kickboxer, Jairzinho Rosenstruik has transitioned to become one of the hottest heavyweight properties in the UFC over the past few years, compiling four victories in a row, all by way of strikes, including knocking out both Andrei Arlovski and Alistair Overeem.
His kickboxing record is just as impressive, with a staggering 64 T(KO)’s in 76 career victories, but he did also suffer two KO losses along the way.
The first came all the way back in 2011 when Ricardo Soneca unleashed a three-piece combo ending in a left hook that left him flat on his back on the canvas, unable to get back up.
Almost a year-and-a-half later Rosenstruik fought Raul Catinas in Romania and suffered the same fate, with a left hook again being the killer blow, this time sending his mouthpiece into orbit as he was floored by the impact.
However, it’s a credit to Rosenstriuk that he’s never been stopped again in either kickboxing or MMA during the eight years since that fight.
