Gregory Rodrigues has not yet shed the prospect label completely. Perhaps he can do so by passing one more test in the Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight division.
The former Legacy Fighting Alliance titleholder will lock horns with Chidi Njokuani in the UFC Fight Night 210 co-headliner on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, where the victor figures to have a claim on a Top 15 ranking at 185 pounds. Rodrigues owns a 3-1 record inside the Octagon, his wins over Julian Marquez, Jun Yong Park and Dusko Todorovic sandwiched around a split decision defeat to Armen Petrosyan.
