After an impressive performance against former UFC champion Luke Rockhold in the main event of Polaris 12, Nick Rodriguez has made a quick turnaround and signed on for the upcoming Polaris Absolute Grand Prix (h/t mmafighting.com). Rodriguez has won 3 straight in the promotion, previously defeating UK stars Ben Dyson and Ash Amos.
Before he sets up camp for Polaris, Rodriguez will be competing in a tag team grappling match at Submission Underground where he will paired up with Craig Jones to face a 10th Planet team. Rodriguez’ meteoric rise up through the grappling world culminated with a spot in the finals of ADCC 2019 where he tasted defeat at the hands of Kaynan Duarte.
