Struggles continue in Vegas
BantamweightUFC
May 18, 2024
Rodrigues lost to Heili Alateng via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Rodrigues entered having lost two of his last three fights, including a first-round submission defeat to Farid Basharat last September, but he had a real chance to get right back in the win column against Alateng. It wasn't meant to be. Rodrigues' takedown defense was woeful, as he allowed his opponent to land 3-of-4 attempts, good for 8:16 worth of control time. That torpedoed any chance of the Brazilian earning a decision. Now 1-3 with the company, with the lone defeat coming against a since-released opponent in Shannon Ross, the UFC could easily decide to cut bait here.

Not competitive in Paris loss
BantamweightUFC
September 2, 2023
Rodrigues lost to Farid Basharat via submission (arm-triangle choke) at 4:15 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Paris.
ANALYSIS
It's been a disastrous past few months for Rodrigues. His fight against Tatsuro Taira scheduled for late-June was cancelled after he missed weight by three pounds. He finally got back in the Octagon here against Basharat and couldn't last a round. Kleydson was predictably overwhelmed the second Farid attempted to lean on his wrestling game, eventually tapping out to the arm-triangle choke with just 45 seconds left in the opening frame. The Brazilian has alternated losses and wins since making his official company debut in May 2022.
