Brazilian middleweight star, Gregory Rodrigues is back in a big way tonight on the preliminary card of UFC 317, stopping and dropping perennial contender, Jack Hermansson with a hellacious opening round knockout win in Las Vegas.
Rodrigues, a product of Dana White’s Contender Series, had been sidelined since he suffered his own stoppage defeat to common-foe, former title challenger, Jared Cannonier in a main event return back in February.
A devastating knockout artist, Brazilian contender, Rodrigues turned back the clock tonight with another emphatic knockout win.
Without a stoppage since back-to-back finishes over both Denis Tiulinin and Brad Tavaves, Rodrigues turned in a thunderous finish tonight.
Closing the show before the buzzer, Rodrigues would drop Hermansson with a huge left hook, with the ex-Cage Warriors champion slamming his head on the Octagon canvas is worrying fashion.
However, before referee, Herb Dean could close in to call a halt to the action, Rodrigues would land another heavy hammer fist, earnign a knockout success.
