UFC Charlotte Results: Jailton Almeida submits Jairzinho Rozenstruik

UFC FIGHT NIGHT: ROZENSTRUIK vs. ALMEIDA also known as UFC Charlotte aired live in Asia on Sunday, May 14 from the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.

In less than a minute, Jailton Almeida defeated Jairzinho Rozenstruik after patiently attempting to mount. Almeida pounded and made choking threats before finally locking up and winning the tapout. Almeida enters the Top Ten following her fifth consecutive victory.

"For my first main event to end like this, I'm very happy. They said this guy was the most dangerous in the division, that he was going to knock me out, but all he did was slap me a few times. You know, Khabib actually won like this, and my style is why I'm here,” he said after his win in the main event.

In three rounds, ranked light heavyweights Anthony Smith and Johnny Walker displayed a great deal of respect for one another; Walker's low kicks connected, while Smith landed a couple of right hands. Walker's perseverance paid off in the third round, giving him the decision and his third straight victory.

"I wanted to prove myself. I didn't want to finish quickly, I wanted to fight three rounds with a high level to show I can defend, I can block, I can fight. (To UFC light heavyweight champion Jamahal Hill, Octagon-side, he said) See you at the top. I'm coming!” Walker noted.

Ian Garry defeated Daniel Rodriguez in the first round to earn his best career victory. Rodriguez was taken on by Garry, who controlled the fight's range and tempo before ending it with a head kick.

Carlos Ulberg fought Ihor Potieria with patience. Ulberg knocked Ihor off his feet with a check left hook after he perfected his timing. Ulberg received swift follow-up strikes, and the TKO gave him four straight wins, three of which came in the first frame.

With a devastating right hand that stopped Court McGee in the first round, 42-year-old Matt Brown tied the UFC knockout record (13) and set a new mark of 13.
