Dirty Boxing 2 results: Jairzinho Rozenstruik destroys overmatched opponent, Alex Caceres drops decision

Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Alex Caceres competed in non-UFC bouts for the first time in a long time, with both experiencing vastly different results.

In Saturday’s Dirty Boxing 2 main event at The Hangar in Miami, Rozenstruik took on MMA veteran Victor Cardoso, and the heavily favored Rozenstruik picked up the victory via second-round knockout to close the show.

Rozenstruik got tagged a couple of times early on by Cardoso, but eventually got rolling, landing big jabs and utilizing his massive reach advantage. “Bigi Boi” stayed patient early on.

As the second round began, Rozenstruik continued his approach against the considerably underskilled Cardoso before landing a huge punch that folded Cardoso over. Rozenstruik followed up with ground-and-pound and the referee stopped it.

With the win, Rozenstruik next faces Rob Perez, who knocked out Alex Nicholson earlier in the night, for the promotion’s inaugural heavyweight title.

In the co-main event, a battle between UFC veterans Alex Caceres and Saidyokub Kakhramonov took place in the squared circle. There was plenty of heat between the two fighters all week, but they ended up battling for three rounds. With the fight even on two of the judges’ scorecards after two, Caceres began to find a rhythm.

With the fight possibly slipping away, Kakhramonov landed a nasty spinning elbow that opened up a cut on Caceres, then stung “Bruce Leroy” with a big shot that stole him the round and the fight as Kakhramonov picked up the victory via unanimous decision.

Jessica-Rose Clark and Francisco Trinaldo were also among the past UFC competitors to earn victories at the event.
