Gregory Rodrigues is in sensational form for the greatest fight of his UFC career.
The 32-year-old has beaten his way in middleweight conflicts with three straight octagonal victories.
On Saturday evening he gets the chance to head against the former UFC title Challenger Jared Cannonier.
'The Killa Gorilla' wants one last run at UFC Gold before he retires – but Gregory Rodrigues seems to be in the best form of his life and ready to win the biggest victory since he became Pro in 2014.

Gregory Rodrigues was revised for UFC Vegas 102
Rodrigues recently participated in a photo shoot to promote Dana White's latest map on the Apex.
The Brazilian showed off with his impressive physique when he posed topless in his UFC fighting equipment.
It was not long before an image of his Jacked Body began to be passed on on social media.
Countless fans left comments after they had been blown away by the shape he had for his fight with Cannonier.
“My God Gregory,” wrote a fan. While another said, “He reminds me of Robocop.”
“Beast,” said a third fan.
“I have to go on his diet and supplementation,” someone else surprised.
“Absolute unit,” tweeted a fifth fan.
“Gregory who comes home with a cup on Saturday,” this person predicted.
Gregory Rodrigues Eyes Middleweight Title shot
Rodrigues watched from home while Dricus du Plessis defended his 185 pound belt on UFC 312 last weekend.
The middleweight champion destroyed the nose of Sean Strickland on the way to a crooked point win to set up a potential collision with Khamzat Chimaev.
Rodrigues knows that even if he beats Cannonier this weekend, he still has to do work to earn a title shot.
Yet he is optimistic that he can maintain his winning point and become a real middleweight candidate in the not too distant future.
“I will beat Jared Cannonier, and then I will not wait that long to fight again,” Rodrigues told UFC.com.
“I am excited because I see these changes, and I move with them. So it will be a great time for the middleweight division, with so many good, new stars that are coming, and I will be one of them. “
He added: “Probably another fight or two fights this year, and I really see myself fighting very quickly for the belt.
“So I just have to do my job, the perfect job I did, and my time will come.”
