Outworks Roman Kopylov in NYC Rodrigues defeated Roman Kopylov via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) at UFC 322 on Saturday in New York City.

Impact A solid performance by Rodrigues on multiple fronts. It helped that he appeared to be twice the size of Kopylov by the time the opening bell rang, but the real difference was the constant pressure he applied on the feet. Roman landed a big blow here and there, but Gregory responded with two or three of his own. He failed on all four of his takedown attempts, but each one served to keep Kopylov even more off balance. "Robocop" has shown no signs of slowing down despite getting set to turn 34 years old in February. He's won five of six dating back to August 2023.

Facing Kopylov in November Rodrigues will take on Roman Kopylov in a middleweight bout at UFC 322 in New York City on Nov. 15, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.

Impact Rodrigues is on a bit of a hot streak, having won four of his last five bouts. A loss to Jared Cannonier in February dropped his record to 7-3, but he got to 8-3 in the UFC with a win over Jack Hermansson in June. Kopylov, meanwhile, will be looking for a bounce-back win.

Gets right back in win column Rodrigues defeated Jack Hermansson via KO (punch) at 4:21 of Round 1 at UFC 317 on Saturday in Las Vegas.

Impact Not only did Rodrigues rebound from his five-round main event loss to Jared Cannonier in February, but he appeared to learn from it as well. "Robocop" started very aggressively in that fight and eventually gassed out. He was much more patient here, picking his spots before nuking Hermansson with a left hand to the chin late in Round 1. The fight was over in an instant, although Rodrigues added one additional blow for good measure before referee Herb Dean pulled him away. While it was a great performance, a win over Hermansson doesn't mean anywhere near as much as it did even a couple years ago. Rodrigues, who has won four of five dating back to August 2023, it still looking for that one career-defining victory to put him over the top in terms of possible title contention at 185 pounds.

The Brazilian middleweight is now 7-3 since starting up his UFC career in 2021. He'll take on another veteran in Hermansson, who is coming off a huge win back in February over Joe Pyfer.
