BRUNO GUSTAVO DA SILVA VS VICTOR RODRIGUEZ LOWDOWN
After going without a win in his first three UFC fights, Bruno Gustavo da Silva (11-5-2(1)) finally got his dub and what a performance it was. After softening JP Buys up with an early low blow and eye poke, he TKO’d him in the second round. That win came after a ‘no contest’ with Khalid Taha and two unanimous decision losses to two flyweight beasts in David Dvorak and Tagir Ulanbekov.
Victor Rodriguez (7-3) heads to the APEX for the second time after a miserable debut. He racked up four knockouts in a row on the local scene prior and took the fight on short notice, but he was rewarded by getting handed an emerging bantamweight prospect Adrian Yanez. Yanez made easy work of Rodriguez finishing him off with a head kick in the first round.
BRUNO GUSTAVO DA SILVA VS VICTOR RODRIGUEZ PREDICTION
Da Silva is a very good fighter, but this is a much kinder match-up for Rodriguez, fighting in his usual weight class at 125 lbs. He is an exciting fighter and will try and bring the pace mixing in strikes with clinch work.
Based on what we have seen, da Silva should be the clear favourite. Rodriguez has looked good on the regional scene but that means nothing in the UFC. Da Silva should be able to hurt Rodriguez with his straight right and calf kicks and also has grappling to call upon to get Rodriguez on his back to pour on the ground-and-pound,
