Junior Gypsy suffered his third consecutive defeat in UFC 252, last Saturday (15), when he was brutally knocked out by the Surinamese Jairzinho Rozenstruik. However, despite the bad phase, the Brazilian still seems to have morale about the event. This is because he received the third highest salary on the attraction.
