Briefing

Gregory Rodrigues is the model’s side at 55% because of age / athletic window, with Yan Xiaonan live if the fight is forced into volume kickboxer.

Yan Xiaonan (volume kickboxer, pressure boxer, point fighter) against Gregory Rodrigues (power puncher, pressure boxer, opportunistic) is a UFC women's strawweight matchup in —. The independent model puts Rodrigues around 55% — a medium confidence number, not a betting line. The largest factor from 50/50 is age / athletic window: Xiaonan 37 vs Rodrigues 34. Peak assumed ~30; decline prior is gentle and never treated as destiny.

Where this is fought matters. Estimated grappling share is 19%. Xiaonan lands 5.1 significant strikes per minute at 46% accuracy with a 0.6 takedown average; Rodrigues is at 5.2 / 51% / 1.6. Takedown defense sits at 74% versus 61%. Reach is 63" against 75" — counted only if the longer fighter actually lives at range.

Xiaonan's primary path: Keep this at kicking range for the first 6–8 minutes. Xiaonan's length and volume only matter if Rodrigues cannot crash the pocket. Failure mode: Getting drawn into Rodrigues's preferred range and losing the minute-winning. Rodrigues's primary path: One clean counter or lead hook as Xiaonan enters. Power is the shortcut; it is not a plan by itself. Failure mode: Getting drawn into Xiaonan's preferred range and losing the minute-winning.

The swing variable is simple: First fighter to be dropped. Power is asymmetric here; the model’s decision lean dies if someone gets hurt early. The model does not start from a sportsbook. If DraftKings or Fanatics disagree, that disagreement is the point of the page.
