When you have a nickname like ‘Robocop,’ you’ve got to live up to the hype of being an unstoppable force in the Octagon! Brazilian fighter Gregory Rodrigues has definitely proven he’s worthy of that name with his incredible performances. Remember his fight against Chidi Njokuani at UFC Vegas 60 in 2022? Rodrigues was badly cut in the first round, blood pouring down his face, but he didn’t back down. Instead, ‘Robocop’ came back strong in the second round to finish Njokuani, earning ‘Fight of the Night’ honors for his sheer grit and resilience.

This performance won Rodrigues a ton of fans, and now everyone wants to know what drives this Brazilian powerhouse to overcome such incredible odds, both in the cage and in his personal life. Let’s dive in and discover more about ‘Robocop’s relationship with his wife, his kids, and what keeps him going!

Gregory Rodrigues’ wife: Is she also a martial artist?

Gregory Rodrigues is an eight-time national BJJ champion and holds a black belt under Henrique Machado, the same man who trained UFC and grappling legend, Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza. But that’s not all! His passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is also a big part of his love story with his wife, Jessica.

Jessica Rodrigues holds a blue belt in jiu-jitsu and the couple train together at the ‘Black House Jiu-Jitsu School’. The two got engaged in 2016 and tied the knot in an intimate, private ceremony in 2017. Jessica has previously referred to Gregory as an exceptional coach and the main driving force in her achievements throughout her martial arts journey.

But Jessica isn’t just all about martial arts; she’s also a petroleum engineer, having graduated from the Federal University of Amazonas. The two are also proud parents to a daughter who is regularly featured in a lot of heartwarming posts on Gregory Rodrigues’ Instagram page!

Do Gregory and Jessica Rodrigues have kids together?

Gregory and Jessica Rodrigues welcomed their first child, a daughter named Serena into the world in October 2022. In an interview ahead of his explosive clash against Chidi Njokuani, Rodrigues had taken the time to address his future in light of his growing family.

“I don’t want to make mistakes because so now, it’s not just me and my wife. It’s my wife and I and one more person is our daughter, right now, and I wanna give the best for them”, he confessed at the pre-fight press conference, indicating his resolve to take his UFC career to the next level, bolstered by the addition of his daughter to his life.

‘Robocop’ is currently scheduled to face Christian Leroy Duncan at UFC 304 after Robert Bryczek withdrew from the bout due to undisclosed reasons. A win here would put Gregory Rodrigues on a 3-fight winning streak and give him a chance to solidify his place as an elite competitor in the middleweight division. With each fight, Rodrigues not only proves his worth in the Octagon but also reaffirms his commitment to those who matter most in his life!
