Mike Rodriguez has a 100% win finishing rate in his professional MMA career.
Mike Rodriguez got his shot in the UFC after a flying knee finish in the first round of The Contender Series 2017.
Mike Rodriguez always brings intensity. All 9 of Mike’s professional MMA KOs/TKOs have come in the first round and he has some scary power. Rodriguez’s best weapon is not only how calculated he fights, but also his willingness to pull the trigger on unorthodox attacks. Mike uses his length beautifully with long punches, has a very nasty clinch game with powerful knees and elbows.
For an example of Mike’s beautiful clinch striking, you’d have to look no further than his last fight against Marcin Prachnio. After a beautiful elbow in the clinch, Mike’s opponent dropped and he landed some brutal ground n’ pound to finish the fight in the first round.
