Middleweight contender Jared Cannonier entered Saturday’s major occasion on the UFC Apex in Las Vegas in opposition to Gregory Rodrigues coming off back-to-back losses. “The Killa Gorilla” was in pressing want of a win and issues didn’t get off to a fantastic begin.
Rodrigues dropped Cannonier twice within the opening spherical and seemed to be properly on his technique to an early end. Cannonier recovered, regrouped and adjusted within the second spherical taking the struggle to the Brazilian.
Questioned about how badly he was damage within the first spherical throughout his Octagon Interview with Daniel Cormier, Cannonier mentioned, “I suppose I used to be damage sufficient to get dropped on my ass a few instances in that struggle.”
“However naturally so. Gregory hits exhausting as hell and he was slinging big-ass pictures. I used to be capable of climate the storm and hold my composure even in these actually robust spots. Labored my method again as much as my toes and I would fairly die on my toes than on my again.”
