Gregory Rodrigues and Junyong Park were at it with the former fighter (11-3 MMA , 2-0 UFC) dominating Park (13-5 MMA, 3-2 UFC) in the first round for most of the five minutes. However, it didn’t take long for things to change with the start of the second round. After both the fighters engaged in action in a wild fashion, Rodrigues calmed down a notch and decided to go for a takedown.
Park stood firm with his defensive skills and landed some big punches that shook Rodrigues but he took it like a champ. “Robocop”, as Rodrigues is popularly called, managed to strike Park with his right hand which sent Park backward.
Even though Rodrigues was himself hurt, he didn’t stop there and moved forward to throw some more punches at Park before the referee blew the whistle. In the end, it was “Robocop” who emerged victorious over Park, with the former fighter having two consecutive wins under the UFC banner.
