LAS VEGAS – Chidi Njokuani is more than happy with his next opponent.
The UFC middleweight takes on Gregory Rodrigues this Saturday in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 210. Njokuani (22-7 MMA, 2-0 UFC) looks to maintain his unbeaten record since joining the UFC, but he also wants to get tested on the ground, as that’s been a weak spot of his in the past. And Njokuani thinks Brazil’s Rodrigues (12-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC) can do just want.
“I kind of figured it would happen eventually,” Njokuani told reporters at the UFC Fight Night 210 media day when asked about his matchup. “We’re both off the Contender Series, and he’s won a few fights, and I’m winning a few fights, so I figured it was going to happen eventually.
