He is ranked 13th at middleweight.The counter-argument sits across the cage. Hernandez was on an eight-fight run before Sean Strickland ended it in February, and the UFC framed this as his pace against Rodrigues' power.The key to victory for Rodrigues will be to stop Hernandez's takedown attempts. If Hernandez can get the big man off his feet, he'll be able to impose his energy-draining style, which has been Robocop's kryptonite. Jared Cannonier dug into Rodrigues' gas tank in 2025. He didn't do it with grappling, but he did tax the Brazilian with pressure.Basically, the quicker Rodrigues can get this over with, the better. The longer the fight goes the more you have to favor Hernandez.Finish breakdown below is as recorded on Tapology.How Gregory Rodrigues Wins FightsMethodWinsShareTKO1056%Submission422%Decision422%Total finishes14 of 1878%More MMA CoverageMORE FOR YOUMoses Itauma vs. Jermaine Franklin: Results, Highlights And ReactionsDana White 'Finalizing' Massive Shakur Stevenson DealEddie Hearn Accepts Dana White's $30 Million ChallengeFull UFC Fight Night CardMain Card185 lbs.: Anthony Hernandez vs. Gregory Rodrigues265 lbs.: Serghei Spivac vs. Vitor Petrino205 lbs.: Reinier de Ridder vs. Roman Dolidze155 lbs.: MarQuel Mederos vs. Mason Jones125 lbs.: Carli Judice vs. Jeisla Chaves265 lbs.: Anthony Wint vs. Terrance ChatmanPrelims145 lbs.: Jamall Emmers vs. Lerryan Douglas265 lbs.: Shamil Gaziev vs. Kennedy Nzechukwu155 lbs.: Nasrat Haqparast vs. Chris Padilla145 lbs.: Marcio Barbosa vs. Ryan Kuse155 lbs.: Gauge Young vs. Stan Dorsainvil185 lbs.: Jackson McVey vs. Wes Schultz115 lbs.: Shanelle Dyer vs. Elise Reed
