UFC on ABC: Rozenstruik vs. Almeida (also known as UFC on ABC 4) was a mixed martial arts event organized by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on May 13, 2023, at the Spectrum Center located in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Background
This event represented the UFC's fifth visit to Charlotte and the first since January 2018.
Initially, the main event was scheduled to be a light heavyweight clash between former title contender Anthony Smith and Johnny Walker. However, the promotion elevated the heavyweight bout between Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Jailton Almeida, originally set for three rounds, to a five-round headliner, moving Smith vs. Walker to the co-main slot.
The fight card included a women's flyweight matchup featuring Kim Ji-yeon against Mandy Böhm, which had been postponed earlier due to Böhm's illness.
A welterweight contest between Jake Matthews and Gabriel Green was planned but was canceled after Matthews withdrew because of injury. Middleweight victor Bryan Battle stepped in as a replacement; however, he weighed in two pounds over the limit. Consequently, their bout proceeded at catchweight, with Battle receiving a fine deducted from his purse.
A lightweight fight pairing Natan Levy with Pete Rodriguez was rescheduled for this card after an initial cancellation but was ultimately removed due to Rodriguez's difficulties making weight.
Additionally, a women's strawweight bout featuring Mackenzie Dern and former Invicta FC Strawweight Champion Angela Hill was shifted to serve as the headliner for the subsequent UFC Fight Night event.
