After debuting in the UFC less than 15 days after becoming LFA champion, Gregory Rodrigues, aka Robocop, plans to continue active in his 'new home'. The middleweight fighter (up to 83,9kg) spoke about his sequence of fights this year, declared that he intends to have 'one or two more fights' this season and preferred not to give an opinion on his next opponent. The statement was given at a press conference after the show.

“So it was crazy for me. I'm happy to know that I managed to fight three times in less than four months, that's a lot for me. I think it was a good step to start in the UFC. Now I just want to go home, hug my wife and get some rest. But I should probably fight one or two more times this year,” said Gregory.
Asked if he would have a preference for a specific opponent in his next fight, the Brazilian did not mention names and said he will accept whoever the organization offers him.
"I do not have a preference. My thoughts and my head were on this fight (against Tudorovic). I don’t want to challenge anyone, I’ll fight whoever the UFC offers me”, concluded the Brazilian fighter.
With his debut on the right foot, Gregory now has a record of 10 wins and three losses. The former LFA middleweight champion hasn't known what it's like to lose since September 2020. Since then, there have been three consecutive victories, all in the 2021 season.
