Profile

Overview Two UFC fights, two knockout losses, and neither one reached the third round. Levi Rodrigues Jr., "Baby Monster," is a Brazilian light heavyweight from Inside Muay Thai who stands 6'0" with a 76.5" reach and fights orthodox. His professional record across all promotions is 5-2-0, but his UFC record is 0-2, and he carries a two-fight losing streak into his next bout.

It's a small sample. It's also a rough start.

UFC Career Rodrigues appeared on Dana White's Contender Series 9.10 against Freddy Vidal. The fight was ruled a no contest after a KO/TKO in round 1 at 3:20. That bout sits outside his UFC record.

His UFC debut came at UFC Fight Night: Du Plessis vs. Usman, where he lost by KO/TKO to Felipe Franco in round 2 at 1:40. At UFC Fight Night: Nurmagomedov vs. Song, he lost to Liu Ce by KO/TKO in round 1 at 4:26.

Two fights, two stoppages. No win yet.

Fighting Style

Levi Rodrigues Jr. is a striker who gets hit more than most. He lands at a pace in line with the UFC average and is accurate with what he throws, but he absorbs a lot and his striking defense is poor.

That shows in his results. Both of his UFC losses ended by knockout or TKO, and he has yet to record a win in the promotion.

He rarely shoots for takedowns and doesn't hunt for submissions, so his offense comes almost entirely from striking. The one area where he holds up is on the mat: he is hard to take down, which keeps fights standing, where his defensive problems have cost him.
