Jack Hermansson vs. Gregory Rodrigues

HERMANSSON VS RODRIGUES

Gregory Rodrigues is almost a 2-1 favorite here and I am a bit surprised. He is definitely bigger, stronger, faster and hits harder, but so was Joe Pyfer. This could literally be an exact repeat of both their last fights. Jack survives early and then takes over with pressure and cardio. Wrestling has been a successful backup plan for Gregory in the past, but A. thats exhausting and B. Jack is nasty on the ground. Ultimately I am going to pick Rodrigues, but mostly because this is a 3 round fight so even if his cardio fades, he hopefully banked the first two.

Jack Hermansson

Jack Hermansson is a great grappler and as long as your name isn't Roman Dolidze If he takes you down he's pretty dominant from there. His striking is solid and while he won't be KOing anyone any time soon he has showed dramatic improvements. He is not very athletic but he's tough and has a solid fight IQ and is reliable. He is coming off the decision win over Joe Pyfer where he survived ealry and then just walked him down.

Gregory Rodrigues

Gregory Rodrigues is a well rounded guy with striking power and a BJJ black belt. Even though he has that blackbelt and is more than capable on the ground, he has really good takedown defense which he uses to keep fights on their feet so he can slug it out. He's a big guy with power and strength and the reality is that he is a threat everywhere. He is coming off the KO loss to Jared Cannonier where his early success faded and his cardio was exposed.
