Background

Since its inception, no athlete has shined brighter on the UFC Fight Pass Invitational mats than Nicky Rodriguez.

Boasting a 7-1 record, he holds the distinction of being the winningest competitor in FPI history. At FPI 10, Rodriguez returns to face the last man to defeat him—Brazil’s Victor Hugo. A former world champion and undefeated in FPI competition, Hugo is widely regarded as one of the top absolute competitors in the sport and looks to hand Rodriguez his first FPI loss in over two years.

The card also features the electrifying Renato Canuto, who takes on Canadian FPI veteran Oliver Taza. Additionally, FPI 10 will showcase elite grapplers such as Ronaldo Junior, Brianna Ste-Marie, Elisabeth Clay, Daniel Sathler, and more!
