Alden "Cobra" Coria and Imanol "Himan" Rodriguez are set to throw down in what's shaping up to be a serious flyweight scrap. Both guys are orthodox strikers, so expect them to meet right in the pocket with nowhere to hide. Coria's been on an absolute tear lately, and Rodriguez just reminded everyone he's got serious power. Coria's riding a three fight win streak that's got people talking. He went the distance twice this year, grinding out unanimous decisions over Stewart Nicoll in July and Luis Gurule back in February.
- Coria's three fight streak meets Rodriguez's knockout power
- Orthodox vs orthodox means they're meeting in the pocket
- Rodriguez landed 59% of strikes in his last outing
Round two and three is where both guys have found their finishes, so if this one's still close late, expect someone to start hunting for the kill shot.
But the one everyone remembers is that knockout over Alessandro Costa last September, when he finished it with punches in round three. The dude's been active and he's been winning. Rodriguez might only have one UFC fight on his recent record, but it was a statement. He slept Kevin Borjas with a punch in round two back in February, landing 55 of 93 strikes at a crazy 59% clip. When a flyweight hits like that, you pay attention.
He also showed some grappling chops with over three minutes of control time in that fight. Here's the thing though. Coria's got the experience edge with three straight wins under his belt, while Rodriguez is still building his resume. Both guys can crack, both guys are willing to stand and trade. Someone's win streak is ending, and someone's getting their hand raised in what could be a wild one.
