Pre-fight analysis

Liu Ce took the fight on a reshuffled card and knocked out Levi Rodrigues Jr. with thirty-four seconds left in the first round.

This bout was not the one originally announced. Liu Ce was booked against Junior Tafa, the pairing changed before fight night, and Levi Rodrigues Jr. stepped in β€” his second appearance in six weeks after being stopped by Felipe Franco in July. He was knocked out again, at 4:26 of the first round. What happened is easy enough to state and worth stating carefully, because the ratings attached to bo…

Ce intel

Liu Ce (3-1) won his UFC debut by first-round TKO at 4:26. Every rating he carries β€” an 82.8 composite, 100.0 chin, 100.0 momentum, 1.00 finish rate β€” comes from that single fight against an opponent rated 4.5. No height or reach is on file for him.

Jr. intel

Rodrigues Jr. (5-1) has now lost both his recorded UFC fights by knockout inside six weeks, to Felipe Franco in July and Liu Ce in August. His 56.0 chin rating and 4.5 composite reflect that pair of results and nothing else.

Key angles

The bout was reshaped before fight night β€” Liu Ce had been matched with Junior Tafa

Rodrigues Jr. took the fight forty-two days after being knocked out by Felipe Franco

Liu Ce's 82.8 composite rests entirely on this one result

No height or reach recorded for Liu Ce anywhere in the database

Risk flags

Every rating on this page is one fight deep on both sides and should be treated as provisional

Short-notice replacement bouts distort ratings more than any other kind of result
