Biggest Winners from UFC Vegas 102
Jared Cannonier: The Veteran Proves He’s Still Got It
At 40 years old, Jared “The Killa Gorilla” Cannonier isn’t here for participation medals. Facing the dangerous and always explosive Gregory “Robocop” Rodrigues, Cannonier showcased his veteran prowess with pinpoint striking and calculated aggression. Many questioned if he still had championship aspirations left in the tank. After Saturday night, the answer is a resounding yes.
Cannonier controlled distance, slipped shots fluidly, and finished the job in emphatic fashion, securing a third-round TKO after overwhelming Rodrigues with violent striking combinations. The win not only reaffirms his place in the middleweight elite but could also set up one final run at UFC gold.
Bruno Ferreira: The Knockout Machine Strikes Again
Ferreira continues to prove he’s must-watch TV. His bout against Denis Tiuliulin wasn’t one for the scorecards, as the Brazilian knockout artist lived up to his reputation. A thunderous first-round KO had fans out of their seats and left Tiuliulin staring up at the Apex lights.
With this victory, Ferreira extends his highlight reel and injects himself firmly into the conversation as the UFC’s next middleweight menace. Who’s next on his hit list? Whoever it is, they better bring a sturdy chin.
Isaac Dulgarian: The Rising Star Gains Momentum
One of the most dominant performances of the night belonged to Isaac Dulgarian. The featherweight prospect made short work of Francis Marshall, finishing the fight in the first round with a ruthless ground-and-pound stoppage.
Many had their eyes on Dulgarian coming into this bout, and he delivered big time. His wrestling was on point, his pressure relentless, and his finishing instincts as sharp as ever. If he keeps this up, we could be looking at a serious title contender in the making.
The Biggest Loser: Gregory “Robocop” Rodrigues
Unfortunately, UFC Vegas 102 wasn’t kind to Gregory Rodrigues. The exciting powerhouse was primed for a statement fight against Cannonier, but instead, he ran into a well-prepared and motivated veteran.
While Robocop had his moments, it just wasn’t enough. Cannonier’s experience and precision proved too much. This defeat halts his momentum and puts him in a tough spot within the division. Is it the end of the road? Absolutely notbut he’d better go back to the drawing board if he hopes to regain his footing in an increasingly competitive middleweight landscape.
