Jared Cannonier pulled off a significant upset as he emerged victorious in the main event during UFC Vegas 102. Overcoming a tough opening round, Cannonier managed to outlast and eventually defeat the formidable Gregory Rodrigues in the fourth round. This much-needed victory halted a two-fight losing streak and prevented him from facing the first three-fight slump of his career. So, what’s next for Cannonier in the unpredictable landscape of the middleweight division?
On the recent episode of “On To the Next One,” MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee dive into prospective opponents for Cannonier following this impressive win. The discussion also spans potential future matchups for Youssef Zalal, who claimed a decision victory over Calvin Kattar in the co-main event. Edmen Shahbazyan’s first-round knockout in the featured bout, along with other main card winners like Nazim Sadykhov and Andre Petroski, also enter the conversation as the UFC makes its return to the APEX.
