"This fight completely makes sense. Brunno is coming with a good career, good wins and the matchmakers do an amazing job. I like it, and they offered the fight. It's not a fight like 'oh man, why'd you pick this fight?' I want to be the champ of the division, and if I want to be the champ I need to beat everyone, right?"
"Probably that night when he got the win against me was the best night of his life. I hope he enjoyed it, because the next one is going to be completely different."
"We have Reinier, we have Michael Johnson, so it feels like sparring day. That's great. Being with Reinier, with all my guys, the coaches, Henri [Hooft], all the team is here, so that feels like home. That will be good. That will be a good night for us."
Gregory Rodrigues confronts Brunno Ferreira in a rematch at UFC 326 in Las Vegas, seeking redemption after suffering a knockout loss in their 2023 encounter.
