Yair Rodriguez Set For Big Main-Event Showdown
2 years agoWith only one fight since 2019, Yair Rodriguez (13-3) could find himself in the thick of the featherweight title talks should he earn a main-event victory over Brian Ortega on Saturday. Known for his dangerous striking and highlight-reel knockout ability, six of his 13 career wins have come by knockout, including a knockout of the year over the Korean Zombie. Due to a lack of activity, Rodriguez has not won a contest since 2019. DraftKings sees Rodriguez as the underdog with a salary of $7,700. Throughout his UFC career, Rodriguez averages 70.4 fantasy points per contest. Rodriguez needs to air on the side of caution, as it would not be a surprise to see Ortega catch the over-aggressive Rodriguez in his return after a long layoff.
