The UFC kicks off March with a stacked fight night event with two heavy hitters in the heavyweight division when No. 12 ranked Jairzinho Rozenstruik takes on undefeated prospect Shail Gaziev. Rozenstruik is looking to get back into the win column after losing via first-round rear-naked choke to Jailton Almeida in his last fight. Meanwhile, Gaziev will be looking to continue his winning ways after he burst onto the scene with an absolutely dominant performance in his UFC debut knocking out Martin Buday in the second round. A win of either one of these two heavyweight can push them into contention in the very weak heavyweight division.
In the co-main event, we have a fight in the light heavyweight division between two surging prospects, the undefeated Vitro Petrino and the Aussie Tyson Pedro. Petrino has now won all three of his fights in the UFC after he secured his contract with a vicious knockout on the Contender Series. He will be looking to make it 11 straight wins when he takes on powerful striker Tyson Pedro. Pedro hit a bit of a rough patch dropping back-to-back fights in 2018 but after a four-year layoff he has now won three out of his last four and will be looking for his biggest win to date when he attempts to stop the hype train Vitor Petrino this weekend at UFC Vegas 87. This fight has the makings of an absolute barnburner and is a great fight to serve as the co-main event for this fight night event.
