The UFC Vegas 102 card is scheduled to be headlined by a five-round middleweight showdown between Jared Cannonier and Gregory Rodrigues. The card also features a number of other exciting matchups.
Cannonier, who's a former UFC middleweight title challenger, is currently on a two-fight losing streak. 'The Killa Gorilla' has vowed to make a triumphant return from his recent setbacks, eyeing a victory over Rodrigues in their upcoming main event matchup.
Jared Cannonier's most recent fight in August 2024, witnessed him suffer a unanimous decision defeat against Caio Borralho, who many view as a major threat to any fighter at 185 pounds. Some believe that Cannonier, even at the age of 40, is still an elite fighter and is unlikely to lose to anyone who isn't in the upper echelon of the middleweight rankings.
On the other hand, Gregory Rodrigues has been making waves in the division and rising to the top as of late. 'Robocop' is on a three-fight win streak. The 32-year-old's latest octagon appearance saw him defeat Christian Leroy Duncan via unanimous decision in July 2024.
