Rodriguez has recently received his blackbelt from Craig Jones. The Black Belt Slayer has competed once in 2024 and it was a referee decision loss to Victor Hugo at Who’s Number One 22. He competed at the last UFC Fight Pass Invitational and defeated Yuri Simoes by points — 3 to 0.
Jimenez is the smaller opponent in this match. He last competed at the 2023 No Gi World Championships where he won the absolute division — winning five matches. In the finals, he defeated Roosevelt Sousa by rear-naked choking.
Both Jimenez and Rodriguez have previously competed, with the B Team winning the UFC Fight Pass Invitational 4, Overtime.
The UFC Fight Pass Invitational 6 will be headlined by Craig Jones vs. BJJ, a match that is always thrilling.
