Credited with a real knockout path and picked as a live threat to finish early, even though the overall pick goes the other way.

Gregory Rodrigues favored over Brunno Ferreira lean UFC 326 · March 1, 2026 · 1 read since
Explicitly says he doesn't blame anyone for backing Ferreira again given the first finish, but picks Rodrigues anyway to even the series.
A powerful, heavy-handed striker with a useful snapping front kick, whose defense was directly exposed in the first fight with this same opponent and led straight to the finish. His grappling may be the more interesting story in the rematch: solid takedown timing, good top pressure, a reliable armbar, and clean scrambling that could actually let him out-grapple his opponent if he commits to using it, especially as the fight wears on. The pick leans on a full training camp built around the rematch and a greater willingness to grapple offsetting the exact striking exchange that got him finished before.
