Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for Yair Rodriguez after UFC on ABC 3 win?
(ALSO SEE: Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for Brian Ortega after UFC on ABC 3 loss?)
Yair Rodriguez got his hand raised in the UFC on ABC 3 main event, but it didn’t come the way he’d hoped or expected against Brian Ortega.
Rodriguez (14-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) was awarded the first-round TKO of Ortega (15-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) in Saturday’s featherweight headliner at UBS Arena in Elmont, N.Y., but the stoppage came only after his opponent suffered a dislocated shoulder that prevented him from continuing.
Despite the anticlimactic outcome, it appears Rodriguez will receive a push forward in the 145-pound landscape, with an undisputed title fight, interim title fight or other marquee matchup potentially on the horizon for the Mexican standout.
But what exactly should be next for Rodriguez? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on his future after UFC on ABC 3.
