Sources report that Theodor Berggren and Rodrigo Sezinando are being targeted for a matchup at UFC Vegas 123, scheduled for October 31. The bout has not been officially announced, and details remain subject to change.
Berggren, nicknamed "Simba," is a 26-year-old Swedish fighter competing out of the Renyi team. He carries an 8-4 professional record and stands five-foot-eleven with a 75-inch reach, giving him a notable physical frame for his division. He fights out of a switch stance, adding an element of unpredictability to his game.
Sezinando enters the targeted matchup at 28 years old with a 9-2 record. The orthodox fighter stands five-foot-nine with a 71-inch reach. His game leans heavily on the grappling side, averaging 3.37 takedowns per 15 minutes. His striking output sits at 2.25 significant strikes landed per minute, with a 27 percent striking accuracy suggesting he prioritizes volume and position over pure punching output.
Why it matters
- Berggren's two-inch height and four-inch reach advantages could play a role in how the striking exchanges develop if the bout is finalized.
- Sezinando's takedown threat of over three attempts per 15 minutes will test Berggren's defensive wrestling.
- Both fighters sit on the younger side of the roster at 26 and 28, meaning a strong performance could have meaningful divisional implications for either man.
- With the card set for a Halloween date in Las Vegas, a confirmed booking would give both camps roughly ten weeks of targeted preparation.
