With the addition of Max Holloway vs Yair Rodriguez, the July 17th card now seems to have an official main event. Max Holloway vs Yair Rodriguez could go either way, and it’s truly a gift to the fans and a striker’s delight. With notable wins over the likes of Chang Sung Jung, Jeremy Stephens, BJ Penn, and Dan Hooker, Rodriguez is no stranger when it comes to facing the elite.
In fact, besides that loss and a No Contest to Jeremy Stephens, “El Pantera” is undefeated within the UFC. “El Pantera” was 5-1 upon making his UFC debut via a stint on The Ultimate Fighter Latin America Season 1, and he would seemingly experience no growing pains inside the UFC octagon besides a doctor stoppage loss to Frankie Edgar. Rodriguez is a rare type, he’s homegrown UFC talent. Fight of the Night, Fight of the Year type potential, and it could also be over in an instant, so don’t blink! Satire aside, this should be an epic battle that has barn-burner potential. After that, “El Pantera” was banned, and now we have Max Holloway vs Yair Rodriguez to thank the MMA gods for. This would’ve been another striker’s delight with legendary potential, but Rodriguez was forced to withdraw from the fight due to an ankle injury. Yair Rodriguez (13-2, 8-1 UFC) is coming off that previously mentioned 6 month USADA suspension, but before that, a fight against forgotten contender Zabit Magomedsharipov was off and on again. While if Rodriguez wins, he could make a solid argument as to why he deserves the title shot against the winner of Volkanovski vs Brian Ortega. At this point, after two losses to the champion, Holloway must obviously defeat every contender in his path if he hopes to prove he is truly deserving of another title fight. Max Holloway vs Yair Rodriguez is a giant fight for the landscape of the featherweight division. Pierre who previously held the record with 2,591 strikes. Surpassing the man many call MMA’s GOAT Georges St. I'M THE BEST BOXER IN THE UFC!!!! #UFCFightIsland7 /Nfc4Csp6f4Īmong other records broken that night, another was for total strikes landed in UFC history with 2,805. Max Holloway (22-6, 18-6 UFC) might have lost his UFC featherweight title and been on the wrong side of a questionable decision against Volkanovski in the rematch, but Holloway showed the “Blessed Express” is going to keep on chugging with that now-legendary performance over Kattar at UFC on ABC 1.Īfter this fight, any doubts about Holloway still being among the featherweight elite were surely silenced after “Blessed” broke a UFC record against Kattar by landing 445 significant strikes, and put on a performance reminiscent of Muhammad Ali with his boxing and slips. Max Holloway vs Yair Rodriguez: A Striker’s Delight Between Featherweight Elite While contracts have not been signed according to Okamoto and White, it appears the UFC is “close to finalizing the deal”, and once official “It is expected to headline a UFC Fight Night event on July 17th, at a location to be announced.” ESPN’s Brett Okamoto was the first to break the news, with word coming from UFC President Dana White himself.
