Gregory Rodrigues bounced back into the win column with an impressive knockout finish in Boston. On the prelims of UFC 292 at TD Garden, Rodrigues (14-5 MMA, 5-2 UFC) smashed Denis Tiuliulin (11-8 MMA, 1-3 UFC) with vicious strikes on the ground to record a first-round stoppage at 1:43. Aggressive from the beginning of the fight, Rodrigues shot in for a takedown, and took the fight to the mat, it would end a few seconds later. “Robocop” transitioned to full mount, took the back, and began raining down powerful, yet measured elbows to the head of Tiuliulin. After the first one connected, the referee stepped in closer, and another appeared to put Tiuliulin out as the referee stopped the fight.
