Records: Todorovic 10-1-0 | Rodrigues 9-3-0
Fight result (2-way line or money line)
The Serbian fighter TODOROVIC (-135) will be hungry to rebound after a stunning first-round knockout loss at the hands of Punahele Soriano Jan. 16. It was his first professional loss in 11 bouts, and he is now 1-1 since landing at the UFC level. Both of his fights have resulted in KO/TKO.
Rodrigues makes his UFC debut. He won the middleweight title at LFA 108 against Josh Fremd May 21, and now he is back after the quick turnaround. I don't love the fact he has had such a short rest after his most recent fight and would be more comfortable playing him in his debut after a little more time to prepare.

Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 1.5 ROUNDS (-120) is the lean, as I think Todorovic will be careful and a little tentative after a first-round knockout loss last time out. I think Rodrigues will take it slow, as he tries to get acclimated in his first-ever UFC fight.
I don't believe it goes the distance, and the books concur, putting it at No -275, but it will last until at least the second half of the second round.
TODOROVIC BY KO/TKO, DQ OR SUBMISSION (+120) is the play, as win or lose, five of his six bouts ended via KO/TKO.
