LAS VEGAS – [autotag]Jairzinho Rozenstruik[/autotag] promised to start fast at UFC 282, and he did just that by putting away [autotag]Chris Daukaus[/autotag] in a mere 23 seconds.
Rozenstruik (13-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) handed Daukaus (12-6 MMA, 4-3 UFC) his third consecutive defeat on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena when he came rushing out of the gate with a flurry of punches and jumping knees, forcing his opponent to stumble around the cage until it was over.
Daukaus did his best to survive the storm, but he couldn’t defend himself from the power of Rozenstruik, who capped off his attack with a vicious left hand.
