Summary

Jared Cannonier has his back against the wall this Saturday when he faces Gregory Rodrigues. Almost 41 years old and riding a two-fight losing streak, Cannonier hopes to defend his position as a Top 10 middleweight when he squares off against the surging Rodrigues in the main event of UFC Vegas 102. Can Cannonier fend off Father Time and Rodrigues or will "Robocop" vault himself into the thick of the middleweight title race? Ahead of Saturday's return to the APEX, MMA Fighting's Jed Meshew and Alexander K. Lee preview the card, discuss what's at stake for Cannonier should he lose, break down the co-main event matchup between Calvin Kattar and Youssef Zalal, dive into a few undercard gems, answer fan questions, and more.
