[autotag]Jairzinho Rose Bush[/autotag] extended his winning streak to two at UFC 305, and it came at the expense of [autotag]Tai Tuivasa[/autotag].
In the main event Saturday at the RAC Arena in Perth, Australia, Rozenstruik (15-5 MMA, 9-5 UFC) defeated Tuivasa (15-8 MMA, 8-8 UFC) via split decision (29-28, 27-30, 30-27).
Judge Howie Booth presented an anomalous scorecard, which was a surprising assessment for many viewers.
The fight remained on the move throughout with plenty of long-range punches and occasional pockets. Most of the action came in round 2, with both men throwing hard punches. Tuivasa was bloodied and tried to hit “Max Holloway” Rozenstruik with a grounder in the closing seconds, but it mostly resulted in a lot of bobbing and weaving by both fighters.
