The rematch of Brazilian middleweight contenders Gregory Rodrigues and Brunno Ferreira is scheduled this Saturday as part of the UFC 326 card, which takes place inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. 

Although he’s up by 1-nil in their head-to-head match and currently riding a three-fight win streak, Ferreira heads into the match as the betting underdog with +170 UFC odds. Rodrigues, on the other hand, is going to be the -210 betting favorite.

UFC 326: Gregory Rodrigues vs. Brunno Ferreira 2: Prediction

I predict a unanimous decision win for Rodrigues over Ferreira since he’s now a much more calculated striker. I think he’ll mix his offense this time with several takedown attempts to make Ferreira defend them to potentially drain significant energy out of him.

In their first meeting, Rodrigues was caught by a solid counterpunch and has learned from that since he puts his hands up after every striking exchange. Additionally, he produces more combinations and overwhelms his opponents with the sheer volume of punches and kicks.

If Rodrigues stays disciplined with his defense and avoids the power punches of Ferreira, I think he’ll eventually put him down and operate on the mat. He can potentially rain down ground-and-pound strikes or threaten with various submission techniques.

Rodrigues has been with the UFC since 2021. In his last five outings inside the octagon, he scored four wins against Brad Tavares, Christian Duncan, Jack Hermansson, and Roman Kopylov, while Jared Cannonier handed him a loss during this stretch.

Ferreira’s route to the UFC was through Dana White’s Contender Series in 2022. Like Rodrigues, he won four of his last five bouts in the promotion, with victories over Dustin Stoltzfus, Armen Petrosyan, Jackson McVey, and Marvin Vettori. His only loss was to Abus Magomedov.
