Ahead of his UFC on ESPN 7 headliner bout against Alistair Overeem, the 31-year-old Surinamese fighter voiced his wish to fight ‘The Predator’ at Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show. On Wednesday at the open workouts, he told MMA Junkie why he thinks the fight will suit his path he has mapped towards the title.
Rozenstruik: I’m the other boogeyman of the division
The name of Francis Ngannou usually incites fear and intimidation among fighters, but Rozenstruik is not one of them. For him, Ngannou is just another fighter whom he wants to fight in the Octagon - and put up a show for the crowd.
The ‘scary guy’ tag that Ngannou wears does not scare Ruzenstruik even a little bit.
When asked if he thinks Ngannou will accept the challenge, Rozenstruik said that he should “if he’s smart”.
In any case, before he can lay his hands on Ngannou or any other fighter of the division, he has to first beat Overeem, which is not an easy task. But as always, Rozenstruik is confident about taking him down.
The fight will take place at UFC on ESPN 7 at Capital One Area in Washington D.C. on Saturday, December 7.
