Ngannou debuted in the UFC in 2015, earning six impressive victories via finish, including a brutal knockout over former champ Andrei Arlovski. This eventually led to a title shot against Stipe Miocic at UFC 220. Despite opening strongly, Ngannou was slowly dominated over the coarse of five rounds, losing a unanimous decision. After this Ngannou lost a decision to Derrick Lewis in a lacklustre fight, disappointing many fans. Since then Ngannou has won three straight fights via first round KO. Two of them include former champs Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos.

Rozenstruik is the first Surinamese fighter to compete in the UFC. After amassing a 6-0 record in smaller promotions, he made his UFC debut against Junior Albini. Rozenstruik won via second round TKO, but wasted no time in his subsequent fight with Allen Crowder – winning via nine second knockout. He then finished Andrei Arlovski after just 29 seconds into their UFC 244 bout, and most recently finished Alistair Overeem in the fifth round of their battle at UFC Washington.
