Garcia has won his last three fights, finishing Jared Gordon by TKO and outpointing Vinc Pichel along the way. Rongzhu has also won his last two. But that streak followed a TKO loss to Chris Padilla, caused by a doctor's stoppage after a bad eye injury. Now they meet on the UFC Fight Night card, and that gap in momentum is why match prediction is for Gifted to win.
Rafa “Gifted” Garcia has been the more consistent fighter across his UFC run, mixing finishes with decisions and rarely looking troubled during his current streak. He also owns eight fights inside the promotion to Rongzhu's seven, giving him a slight edge in experience heading into a five-round main-card slot.
The Sichuan Native has genuinely improved since linking up with City Kickboxing in Auckland, the gym behind several of the sport's sharpest strikers. Rongzhu’s last two wins over Kody Steele and Austin Hubbard both came by clear decision. He earned a Fight of the Night bonus doing it too. Still, both wins came the hard way, over the full three rounds.
Garcia's longer and steadier win streak gives him the edge here, even against an opponent who is clearly trending up.

Our Rafa Garcia vs Rongzhu Prediction
Garcia's three-fight win streak is the hotter form of the two, built on a mix of finishes and decisions. Rongzhu has also won his last two, but that run started only after a bad TKO loss to Chris Padilla and a move to a new camp in Auckland.
Gifted also carries the experience edge, with eight UFC fights to Rongzhu's seven. Both of the Sichuan Native's recent wins went the full three rounds, while Garcia has looked sharper for longer. Hence, our Garcia vs Rongzhu fight prediction is that Rafa Garcia wins.
