Rodriguez hurt Grachev with every hard punch that landed to the head and body. He sent Grachev down twice in the first two minutes. Rodriguez then punished Grachev, who was out on his feet, with a heavy barrage of punches until the referee jumped in to wave things off and save Grachev from further punishment. Rodriguez was crowned the winner of a four-fighter international tournament, which also included Hungarian Zsolt Erdei (defeated by Grachev) and Argentinean Ezequiel Osvaldo Maderna (eliminated by Rodriguez) and a catchweight limit set between the 168lb weight class and the 175lb division.
