Heavyweight Junior Albini has a new opponent for his return to work in a couple weeks.
Albini (14-4 MMA, 1-2 UFC) was supposed to take on the unbeaten Dmitry Sosnovskiy (11-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) at UFC on ESPN+ 2. But Sosnovskiy is out, according to the official bout order from UFC broadcast partner ESPN, and promotional newcomer Jair Rozenstruik (6-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has stepped up in his place.
UFC on ESPN+ 2 takes place Feb. 2 at Centro de Formacao Olimpica do Nordeste in Fortaleza, Brazil. The card streams exclusively on ESPN+.
Rozenstruik, from Suriname, has five of his six pro wins by knockout, including a 10-second victory in late December. His lone decision was a split call over Andrey Kovalev at Rizin FF 10 in May 2018.
Albini will be looking to get back in the win column after back-to-back losses to former heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski at UFC Fight Night 120 and Alexei Oleinik at UFC 224 this past May.
Sosnovskiy had his sights set on staying unbeaten after a second-round rear-naked choke win over Mark Godbeer in his promotional debut at UFC Fight Night 127 in March 2018. Now he’ll have to put those hopes on hold.
With the change, the UFC on ESPN+ 2 lineup now includes:
MAIN CARD (ESPN+, 8 p.m. ET)
PRELIMINARY CARD (ESPN+, 5 p.m. ET)
