A formidable opponent, Gregory “Robocop” Rodrigues, fighting out of Deerfield Beach, Florida, holds a 2-0 UFC record. The Brazilian, born in Manaus, Amazonas, made his promotional debut at UFC Vegas 28 in 2021, earning a unanimous decision victory over Duško Todorović. The 29-year-old last fought at UFC Vegas 41, defeating Jun Yong Park via TKO. Rodrigues enters UFC Fight Night 202 riding a four fight win-streak.
