The fight marks the third consecutive middleweight main event in four shows for the promotion this year, as both UFC Middleweight Champion Dricus du Plessis (23-2 MMA, 9-0 UFC) and No. 1 contender Nassourdine Imavov (16-4 MMA, 8-2, 1 NC UFC) picked up respective wins in Australia and Saudi Arabia the previous two weekends.

UFC Fight Night full card predictions for Jared Cannonier vs. Gregory Rodrigues

Rodrigues has been on a tear after winning five of his last six, dating back to June 2022. "Robocop" has won his last three fights, with two coming by stoppage against Denis Tiuliulin (Round 1 TKO) at UFC 292 and long-time promotional veteran Brad Tavares last winter at a UFC Fight Night card just 55 seconds into Round 3 by TKO. His most recent win at UFC 304 against Christian Leroy Ducan last July saw the fight go the distance, with Rodrigues sweeping the scorecards.

Rodrigues, 32, has finished five of his seven UFC wins by KO/TKO, which accounts for a 71 percent finishing rate in the Octagon, according to Tapology.

Meanwhile, Cannonier has been on a slight decline in recent years. After losing his lone title fight against then-champion Israel Adesanya in July 2022, the 40-year-old has gone 2-2 in his last four outings with fights against some of the sport's best in Strickland, former title challenger Marvin Vettori, and No.6-ranked Caio Borralho.

Something has to give. Despite his stellar record, Rodrigues is unranked at 185 pounds, while other ranked names, some coming off losses (Paulo Costa) are still in the championship discussion.

A win for Rodrigues would likely flip the divisional narrative completely, while Cannonier is attempting to regain championship contender form.
