GREGORY RODRIGUES

The Brazilian middleweight Gregory Rodrigues built his career through wrestling and high-level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. After performing on the regional circuits across the United States and his home country, he secured the LFA Middleweight Championship in 2021. He eventually transitioned to the Ultimate Fighting Championship, where he represents the Florida-based Kill Cliff FC team. Operating from an orthodox stance, the athlete earned a reputation for aggressively hunting finishes and collecting multiple performance bonuses during his time in the organization.

Heading into the October 2023 event, Rodrigues held an overall professional record of 14-5. His most recent outing resulted in a knockout victory over Denis Tiuliulin via elbows. Before that win, he suffered a knockout loss to Brunno Ferreira. His prior run included consecutive stoppage victories against Chidi Njokuani and Julian Marquez, following a narrow split decision defeat to Armen Petrosyan.
