Gregory Rodrigues opened his third eye against Chidi Njokuani at UFC Vegas 60 this past Saturday.
Njokuani connected with a knee in the first round that busted open the Brazilian, causing him to bleed profusely from the cut between his eyes. The wound was bad, and ‘Robocop’ knew his time in the Octagon could be limited if there was an intervention from the referee or doctor. Fortunately, Rodrigues was allowed to continue and delivered a ‘Comeback of the Year’ contender after getting Njokuani down and finishing him with ground-and-pound for the second-round TKO.
Though he got the win, Rodrigues admitted he was in some serious trouble after that knee.
