His most recent outing was a TKO win over Shamil Abdurakhimov in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil at UFC 283. The finish earned him a performance of the night bonus. Almeida is currently on a 13-fight unbeaten streak.
Rozenstruik (13-4) last competed at UFC 282, where he secured a TKO win over Chris Daukaus. The 34-year-old has fought the best of UFC’s heavyweight division, including former champions Francis Ngannou, Ciryl Gane and Junior Dos Santos.
