The heavyweight veteran will headline Dirty Boxing 2 in Miami on
June 14 opposite Devon
Schwan. DBX utilizes four-ounce gloves and three-minute rounds
with elbows and “conditional ground-and-pound” allowed as part of
the promotion’s rule set. The promotion recently announced the full
lineup for its upcoming event.
DBX 2 will include a number of familiar faces on the card — many
with UFC experience — including Alex
Caceres, Phil Hawes,
Francisco
Trinaldo, Jessica-Rose
Clark and Alex
Nicholson, among others. The card takes place at The Hanger and
streams for free on the DBX YouTube channel. Prelims begin at 7
p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT, while the main card kicks off at 9 p.m. ET/6
p.m. PT.
Rozenstruik last appeared at UFC
Saudi Arabia — also known as UFC Fight Night 250 — on Feb. 1,
when he dropped a forgettable unanimous decision to Sergei
Pavlovich. The Las Vegas-based promotion
elected to release “Bigi Boy” after that performance, despite
his 9-6 overall record in the Octagon. The 37-year-old Suriname
native owns notable wins over the likes of Alistair
Overeem, Junior dos
Santos, Andrei
Arlovski and Tai
Tuivasa, among others.
Schwan, meanwhile, only has one documented MMA bout: a first-round
TKO loss to Brandon
Ropati in 2011. More recently, he has experience competing in
both BKFC and Power Slap.
