Okay so this fight has a crazy backstory before we even talk about what happens Saturday night. Junior Tafa was supposed to be in there with Liu Ce, then out of nowhere Levi Rodrigues Jr. gets the call just two weeks out and says yes. That kind of short notice courage is wild, but here's the thing, Levi just got knocked out in his UFC debut back in July. Two weeks to shake that off and step back into the Octagon is insane.

Key Storylines
  • Levi steps in on two weeks notice after July KO loss
  • Liu Ce fighting at home in front of Shanghai crowd
  • Kickboxing phenom vs power punching brawler on short notice
Finishing Window

If Levi can't get this to the ground early, expect Liu Ce to find his range by the middle rounds and the Shanghai crowd to absolutely erupt.

Now Liu Ce, nicknamed The Oriental Dragon, is fighting in his home country at UFC Shanghai and the crowd is going to be absolutely electric for this guy. People are calling him a kickboxing phenom all over the fight week content, and fighting in front of a home crowd in Shanghai adds a whole different layer of energy to his performance. Here is where it gets really interesting technically. Levi is a power puncher and a brawler, but the smart money says he tries to drag this to the ground early to take away Liu's striking.

If Levi can get Liu tangled up and slow down that kickboxing game, this becomes a totally different fight. But if Liu gets space to work and lands clean, that crowd is going to go absolutely nuts. Everyone is wondering if two weeks is enough time for Levi to mentally reset after getting finished in his debut. That question alone makes this fight must watch.
