Gregory Rodrigues Is Ready To Break From The Middleweight Pack

“Robocop” Has His Sights Set On Top 10 Opposition This Weekend, And Hopes To Take Championship Gold Into Custody Sooner Rather Than Later

Brazilian middleweight Gregory Rodrigues plans on gatecrashing the UFC’s 185-pound rankings with a victory over Jared Cannonier, then hitting the fast track to the top of the division.

Rodrigues will make the walk for his 10th UFC fight this weekend at the UFC APEX, where he’ll face Cannonier in the main event of the evening. With Rodrigues currently unranked, and Cannonier sitting seventh in the official UFC middleweight rankings, it’s a huge opportunity, and “Robocop” plans on taking full advantage.
