UFC Vegas 28 Preview

A product of Dana White’s Contender Series Brazil, Augusto Sakai will be looking to rebound from the lone blotch on his 4-1 UFC record that occurred in his previous fight. In his first UFC main event, Sakai fell short against veteran Alistair Overeem last September in a TKO defeat. Sakai will look to revert to being on the opposite side of the knockout, as 11 of his 15 career wins have come by this method.

Jairzinho Rozenstruik will also be looking to bounce back from a main-event loss. In his previous bout, Rozenstruik fell to Ciryl Gane in February via unanimous decision. He does have a claim to something that Sakai does not, which is that he holds a victory over Alistair Overeem. As we know, fights are not won or lost by the equations of MMA math, so these big boys will determine who the better man is through a battle of might and the ultimate test of wits inside the UFC Octagon.

The co-main event of the evening will feature two more heavyweights ready to show the world why the big men strike so much fear into the imaginations of many. The vision of standing across from bombs being thrown at you from Walt Harris isn’t a pleasant thought, especially when they are being swung with bad intentions and the frustrations of back-to-back losses.

Despite losing to Alexander Volkov and Alistair Overeem consecutively, Harris still currently holds on to his ranking in the heavyweight’s top 10 at #8, but a third straight loss is something every fighter wants to avoid, especially in the UFC, where such a streak is often the beginning of the end of a promotional run. At 37 years old, Harris will want to remind the UFC brass and the world that he is still a Big Ticket for the promotion.

Meanwhile, Harris’s opponent, Marcin Tybura, is experiencing a completely different career trajectory. The winner of four straight, Tybura recently earned his first stoppage since 2016 when he picked up the TKO over Greg Hardy last December. Tybura’s streak has earned him a spot right outside the heavyweight top 10 at #11. A fifth straight win for this technical striker would do wonders for him and potentially promote him up a spot to the main event next time in addition to a few spots up the UFC rankings.
