Rodrigues has won two straight fights under the LFA banner since suffering a first-round knockout loss against Jordan Williams on Dana White’s Contender Series in September 2020. Most recently, he claimed the promotion’s middleweight crown with a KO of Josh Fremd at LFA 108 this past Friday. The Rio de Janeiro native is 9-3 as a pro, with all but one of his victories coming inside the distance.
Serbia’s Todorovic suffered his first career defeat in 11 outings at UFC on ABC 1, where he fell to Punahele Soriano via TKO in the opening stanza on Jan. 16. The Contender Series alum debuted in the Octagon with a second-round stoppage of Dequan Townsend at UFC on ESPN 16.
