Gregory Rodrigues couldn’t have foreseen the wild ride that’s led him to the UFC.
Rodrigues, who on Saturday steps in to replace Maki Pitolo against Dusko Todorovic at UFC Vegas 28, signed a deal with the promotion 24 hours after capturing the LFA middleweight title on May 21, and just a few months after coming close to retiring from the sport.
“I never imagined this, not even in my best dreams,” Rodrigues said in an interview with MMA Fighting after his LFA 108 knockout over Josh Fremd.
