Former interim UFC featherweight champion Yair Rodriguez spoke about the importance of a rematch with Brian Ortega, which will take place on February 14 at the UFC Fight Night 237 tournament in Mexico City.

“I think a win over Ortega will give me a second title chance. Of course, a lot will also depend on the fight between Volkanovski and Topuria. The outcome of this fight will determine which direction the division will go next and which matchups will make sense.

If Alex wins, which I expect, and I win my fight, then our rematch could become a reality,” MMA Mania quotes Rodriguez.

Let us remember that in the first fight between Rodriguez and Ortega, which took place in July 2022, Brian capitulated in the first round due to a shoulder injury.
