The winners of these two fights are likely to rise in the rankings, with one of Rozenstruik or Sakai possibly breaking through to the Top-10. Rozenstruik will look to come back from his loss against rising heavyweight superstar Ciryl Gane in his last fight.
Similarly, Sakai needs a win, too, after losing to Alistair Overeem in his last fight. This fight is going to be wild from start to finish.
