DANIEL RODRIGUEZ

Daniel Rodriguez is a welterweight fighter from the United States who hones his craft at Syndicate MMA. Since starting his professional career in 2015, he competed in multiple organizations until signing with the UFC in 2020. Over the years, he has earned a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and refined a style defined by high-volume striking. By defeating notable names such as Li Jingliang and Kevin Lee, he transitioned from the regional circuit to becoming a consistent presence in the UFC rankings.

Heading into this bout, Rodriguez holds a professional record of 17-4-0. He is currently looking to bounce back from recent losses, having suffered a TKO against Ian Machado Garry and a submission defeat to Neil Magny. Prior to that slide, he enjoyed a period of success that included a split decision victory over Li Jingliang, a unanimous decision win against Kevin Lee, and a TKO finish of Preston Parsons.
