Jairzinho Rozenstruik proved to be too technical for Tuivasa at UFC 305.

The opening round saw a cautious but clear performance from Rozenstruik, who effectively utilized his jab and low kicks to control the distance. Tuivasa struggled to connect with his punches, though he managed to land a couple of low kicks. This pattern continued into the second and third rounds, as Tuivasa found it challenging to close the gap, absorbing a steady stream of jabs and low kicks. Ultimately, Rozenstruik's superior striking carried him to the end of the fight. Bizarrely, one judge scored the fight 30-27 for Tuivasa, which is undoubtedly one of the worst scorecards in UFC history.
