UFC President Dana White praised the performance of the Brazilian heavyweight Jailtona Almeida in a duel with a Surinamese Jairzinho Rozenstruik.

Almeida defeated Rozenstruik via submission in the first round in the main event of UFC on ABC 4. The tournament took place on the night of May 14 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

“This guy is very promising. Everything looks like he's going to be a heavyweight star. His punches are just insane. When he takes a position, he does not waste time in vain. He tries to finish his opponent. I have high hopes for him. I think he will be special,” White said at a press conference.
