Gregory Rodrigues

Robocop

Brazil

Gets revenge on Brunno Ferreira
MiddleweightUFC
March 7, 2026
Rodrigues defeated Brunno Ferreira via KO (punch) at 1:47 of Round 1 at UFC 326 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Rodrigues gets revenge on Ferreira after the former won the first fight between the two via first-round knockout back in January 2023. The Brazilian's knockout power has been on display in recent years and this was the latest example. He fired off a short right hand which almost appeared to be a jab, disguised well by his head movement. Whatever it was it did serious damage, dropping Ferreira on the spot and causing referee Chris Tognoni to immediately step in. The end result was a $100,000 Performance of the Night bonus. Rodrigues may not be on quite the same level as the top guys at 185 pounds, but he's not far off. The 34-year-old has won three straight and six of seven dating back to August 2023. Four of those wins have come via knockout.

Fight scheduled for UFC 326
MiddleweightUFC
January 14, 2026
Rodrigues is scheduled to compete against fellow middleweight Brunno Ferreira at UFC 326 in Las Vegas on March 7, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Rodrigues will replace Paulo Costa, fighting at UFC 327 instead, to compete against Ferreira. Rodrigues' 2025 record is 2-1, with the lone loss coming against Jared Cannonier in February. After the defeat, Rodrigues bounced back with wins over Jack Hermansson (knockout punch) and Roman Kopylov (unanimous decision) in separate pay-per-views.
Outworks Roman Kopylov in NYC
MiddleweightUFC
November 15, 2025
Rodrigues defeated Roman Kopylov via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) at UFC 322 on Saturday in New York City.
ANALYSIS
This was a solid performance by Rodrigues on multiple fronts. It helped that he appeared to be twice the size of Kopylov by the time the opening bell rang, but the real difference was the constant pressure he applied on the feet. Roman landed a big blow here and there, but Gregory responded with two or three of his own every time. He failed on all four of his takedown attempts, but each one served to keep Kopylov even more off-balance. "Robocop" has shown no signs of slowing down despite getting set to turn 34 years old in February. He's won five of six dating back to August 2023.

September 16, 2025
Rodrigues will take on Roman Kopylov in a middleweight bout at UFC 322 in New York City on Nov. 15, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Rodrigues is on a bit of a hot streak, having won four of his last five bouts. A loss to Jared Cannonier in February dropped his record to 7-3, but he got to 8-3 in the UFC with a win over Jack Hermansson in June. Kopylov, meanwhile, will be looking for a bounce-back win.
Gets right back in win column
MiddleweightUFC
June 28, 2025
Rodrigues defeated Jack Hermansson via KO (punch) at 4:21 of Round 1 at UFC 317 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Not only did Rodrigues rebound from his five-round main event loss to Jared Cannonier in February, but he appeared to learn from it as well. "Robocop" started very aggressively in that fight and eventually gassed out. He was much more patient here, picking his spots before nuking Hermansson with a left hand to the chin late in Round 1. The fight was over in an instant, although Rodrigues added one additional blow for good measure before referee Herb Dean pulled him away. The resounding victory would go on to earn him a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus. While it was a worthy performance, a win over Hermansson doesn't mean anywhere near as much as it did even a couple years ago. Rodrigues, who has won four of five dating back to August 2023, it still looking for that one career-defining victory to put him over the top in terms of possible title contention at 185 pounds.
Set to fight in June
MiddleweightUFC
May 8, 2025
Rodrigues will take on Jack Hermansson at UFC 317 on Jun. 28, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Rodrigues will look for his first win in the 2025 year after being knocked out by Jared Cannonier back in February. The Brazilian middleweight is now 7-3 since starting up his UFC career in 2021. He'll take on another veteran in Hermansson, who is coming off a huge win back in February over Joe Pyfer.
