Jared Cannonier Form
Jared Cannonier is the #7 ranked middleweight contender with a professional record of 17-8 (10 KOs, 2 Subs).
Cannonier debuted in the UFC a decade ago and has fought a who’s who of men at both light-heavyweight and now middleweight.
He forced his way into the world title picture in 2022 as he followed up a decision victory over Kelvin Gastelum with a second-round knockout of Derek Brunson.
That secured ‘Tha Killa Gorilla’ a shot at Israel Adesanya’s crown in July of that year, but he came up short on the night as he dropped a decision to ‘The Last Stylebender’.
Cannonier rebounded in his next outing with a split decision win over Sean Strickland, who went on to become champion, and he followed it up with a points success against Marvin Vettori.
The 40-year-old American failed to make it three-in-a-row though, and ultimately went 0-2 in 2024 to slip down the middleweight rankings.
He first suffered a fourth-round knockout lost at the fists of Nassourdine Imavov, and then lost a unanimous decision to Caio Borralho.
Gregory Rodrigues Form
Gregory Rodrigues is an unranked middleweight fighter with a professional record of 16-5 (10 KOs, 3 Subs).
Rodrigues arrived in the UFC in 2021 and enjoyed a successful debut year as he beat Dusko Todorovic on points and Park Jun-Yong via second-round knockout.
He failed to make it three-in-a-row as he dropped a split decision to Armen Petrosyan, but he rebounded to win his next two fights.
The 32-year-old Brazilian knocked out Julian Marquez in 198 seconds, and then backed that up with a second-round knockout of Chidi Njokuani.
Rodrigues again failed to win three consecutive UFC fights, suffering a first-round knockout loss to Brunno Ferreira, but he has not lost since that January 2023 outing.
‘Robocop’ bounced back with a 103 second knockout of Denis Tiuliulin, and followed that up with victories in both of his 2024 outings.
He first took out Brad Tavares in 55 seconds, before earning a decision win over Christian Leroy Duncan.
Verdict
Not only does Gregory Rodrigues have the striking to stand with Jared Cannonier, but he also has the edge if this fight hits the mat.
He possesses a big size advantage too, so we expect Rodrigues to force his way into the rankings with a signature stoppage win.
