Daniel ‘D-Rod’ Rodriguez has recorded the most high-profile victory of his professional career, exacting a striking clinic to take home a dominant, one-sided unanimous decision win over ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry to open the UFC Vegas 23 main card.

Utilising some of the sharpest boxing on display in recent events, the Los Angeles native, who has spent some considerable time training alongside future UFC Hall of Fame inductee, Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone at the BMF Ranch — dominated Perry on the feet from start to finish.

Busting up the polarizing Flint, Michigan native in the opening round, Rodriguez ultimately left Perry covered in claret by the end of the third round — likely breaking the latter’s nose in the opening frame to boot.

Despite suffering two successful takedowns from Perry from three attempts, it was majorly plain sailing for Rodriguez — who now improves to 4-1 under the promotion’s banner.

Below, catch the highlights from Rodriguez’s one-sided unanimous judging triumph over Perry.

Mike Perry could be back in action very soon.

As per multiple reports, Perry is set to face Daniel Rodriguez in a welterweight bout. It is expected to take place at the UFC’s upcoming April 10 event.

No location or venue has been confirmed for the event as of yet, but it’s likely to take place in either Las Vegas or Yas Island.

Despite only teasing a move to middleweight on Monday, Perry looks set to continue at 170 pounds as he will look to return to the win column against Rodriguez. “Platinum” last competed in November last year when he was outpointed by Tim Means.

Before that, he had snapped a two-fight losing streak by outpointing Mickey Gall in June last year.

Rodriguez, meanwhile, will also be looking to return to the win column. The 34-year-old suffered his first defeat in the UFC after getting outpointed by Nicolas Dalby in November. Before that, he enjoyed a three-fight winning streak with wins over Means, Gabriel Green and Dwight Grant.

The April 10 card will be headlined by a pivotal ranked middleweight encounter between Darren Till and Marvin Vettori. If confirmed, tt should certainly be interesting to see how Perry interacts with rival Till leading up to the event.

What do you make of this fight? Do you think Perry will return to the win column?
