Reported prose from our newsroom.
Levi Rodrigues Jr. makes his UFC debut against Felipe Franco in Oklahoma City. The light heavyweight steps into the Octagon for the first time with a 0-0 promotional record. He meets an opponent who has one UFC appearance behind him, a small experience gap in an otherwise even matchup between recent additions to the roster. Rodrigues arrives without an Octagon body of work for fans to study, which leaves his debut an open question. A first UFC win would give him an immediate platform in a thin light heavyweight division. Rodrigues will aim to make an early impression and prove he belongs at this level. He is one of several fighters taking a first walk to the Octagon on this card.
