Pete Rodriguez, better known as "Dead Game", brings a 5-2 record into every walk to the cage — and in a division as crowded as welterweight, every single win matters.
On the feet he's a problem: 9.28 significant strikes a minute at 45% accuracy, and 100% of his wins end in a knockout. The math is bad for anyone standing across from him.
He's coming off a loss to Themba Gorimbo. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.
