‘The Gypsy King’ got a taste of the power that caused Rozenstruik’s first MMA loss when he was dropped by a Ngannou hook in round three.
Fury survived the scare to record a controversial split decision victory and set up a historic four-belt undisputed fight with WBO, WBA, and IBF champion Oleksandr Usyk on May 18.
Ngannou will continue his boxing career against former two-time heavyweight boxing world champion Anthony Joshua on March 8.
Rozenstruik has lost four more fights since being blown away by Ngannou and has just one win from his last four bouts in MMA’s premier promotion.
Rozenstruik will look to get his career back on track this Saturday when he takes on undefeated 12-0 contender Shamil Gaziev at UFC Vegas 87.
Ahead of a must-win fight, he has sent some kind words to Ngannou, who he hopes to see beat Joshua at ‘Knockout Chaos’ next weekend.
“The only thing I can say is I wish him luck,” Rozenstruik told TMZ Sports. “I hope everything goes well for him. It was nice sharing the Octagon, the energy, and I wish him luck. No bad vibes… I hope he wins.”
