""I have two names, good names, I think it's going to be a good fight. One of them is Israel Adesanya, but he's a DJ now, I don't know if he has time to train," stated Rodrigues. "But if he still is, I want to do a good fight with him. I think it would be amazing for me. One day when he was the champion, he talked about me when I split my head, 'I want to fight with this guy, one day he's going to be on the top.' So I think it's a good fight, but if not, I think Robert Whittaker is another good name.""
""I'm still looking up, man. I will get my spot one day, sooner or later I will be fighting for the belt,""
""Five rounds, man. I want the five rounds again. That would be good.""
Gregory Rodrigues earned a unanimous decision victory over Roman Kopylov after a competitive 15-minute middleweight bout at UFC 322. Rodrigues described Kopylov as a warrior and praised unexpectedly strong takedown defense, while noting that going the distance showcased a more well-rounded skill set. The Brazilian 'Robocop' sits just outside the UFC top 15 and named Israel Adesanya and Robert Whittaker as desirable next opponents. Rodrigues expressed confidence in climbing toward a title shot, asked for five-round opportunities and for a headlining spot as part of his path to championship contention.
