A thrilling matchup between two vicious light heavyweight contenders will be witnessed at UFC OKC, as Levi Rodrigues is scheduled to face Felipe Franco inside the Paycom Center.

Because of his perfect MMA record with a 100% finish rate, Rodrigues is going to be the betting favorite with -145 UFC odds, while Franco, who dropped his UFC debut earlier this year, is going to be the +120 betting underdog.

UFC OKC: Levi Rodrigues vs. Felipe Franco: Prediction

My prediction is a TKO/KO win for Rodrigues, mainly because he’s the more powerful and technical fighter. His Muay Thai background will also make him a more agile, quick fighter while inflicting damage from a comfortable range.

Another key factor here is the weight cut of Franco since he’s going to go down to the light heavyweight division for this bout. This is going to be an added worry for Franco because he needs to make the 205-pound weight limit.

Levi Rodrigues’ Recent Fight Results

Rodrigues made his pro MMA debut in July 2022 and remained unbeaten with victories over Cristiano Vicente, Leonardo Genuino, Jose Carlos Lima, Johnny Pereira, and Alan Ribeiro. Even though his Dana White’s Contender Series match with Freddy Vidal ended in a no-contest, he still secured a UFC contract.

Felipe Franco’s Recent Fight Results

Franco is a standout in the South American MMA circuit before the UFC signed him earlier this year. He was pitted against Mario Pinto for his octagon debut, but absorbed a decision loss to Pinto at UFC London.

UFC betting is a unique way to get closer to the action of the world’s biggest fights. And with live betting at the online sportsbook, the betting doesn’t stop when the fighters enter the octagon.
