After the categorical victory over Denis Tiuliulin No. UFC 292, which took place last Saturday (19), the Brazilian Gregory Robocop is already looking at its next step in the organization. In an interview at the end of the card held in Boston (USA), the Tupiniquim middleweight (up to 83,9kg) said that he intends to fight again in 2023 and asked for the name of the experienced Brad Tavares, which hit Chris Weidman on the same night.

" Brad Tavares He just won and if he wants to fight, I'm ready for December. Let's go! In December I want to return and Tavares is a great name for me”, said Robocop.

Coming off a surprising defeat to newcomer Brunno Hulk last January, Gregory bounced back well in UFC 292, when beating the Russian Denis Tiuliulin in the first round. In seven fights in Ultimate, Robocop won five victories, four of them by knockout and suffered only two setbacks, against Brunno Hulk and Armen petrosyan.

Hired by Ultimate in 2021, the former LFA champion has been struggling to achieve a good sequence of victories that would bring him closer to the middleweight division rankings. At 31 years old, Gregory has an MMA record of 14 triumphs and just five setbacks as a professional.
