Ex-UFC fighter Jairzinho Rozenstruik is currently in custody after being arrested in Florida on two separate charges listed as a domestic violence offense.
Online court records show that Rozenstruik was arrested on Jan. 19 by the Pembroke Pines Police Department and taken to the main jail where he was hit with a pair of charges and also placed on an immigration hold.
The immigration hold is set for 48 hours with that charge hitting on Jan. 20.
Based on records, Rozenstruik was hit with a third-degree felony for false imprisonment with his bond set at $2,500. A second misdemeanor charge was also levied against Rozenstruik for touch or strike/battery/domestic violence with a $1,000 bond.
MMA Fighting has requested a copy of the police report involving Rozenstruik’s arrest but no further details were available at the time of publication.
Rozenstruik, 37, spent six years on the UFC roster where he was a top 10 heavyweight for much of his career competing in the promotion. He scored impressive wins over Andrei Arlovski, Junior dos Santos and Alistair Overeem during his career with the UFC.
He was eventually released from his contract in 2025 following a 3-4 run including a decision loss to Sergei Pavlovich in his final fight with the promotion. Rozenstruik then moved onto sign with Mike Perry’s Dirty Boxing promotion where he became heavyweight champion in his second fight with the promotion.
