Rodriguez wants to fight Volkanovski in Mexico

Dmitriy Kel Feb. 13, 2023, 2:43 p.m.

Interim UFC featherweight title holder Yair Rodriguez announced his desire to fight the full-fledged division champion Alexander Volkanovski at home in Mexico.

Recall that on November 12 at UFC 284 in Perth, Australia, Rodriguez defeated Josh Emmett by choke. As part of the same tournament, Volkanovski failed to win the lightweight title, losing on points to Islam Makhachev.

“It would be ideal to fight Alex in Mexico. I talked to his manager in Dallas and he asked if I would go to Australia. Then I replied that I would do it. And I kept my word - I came here and won the temporary belt. Now I want to ask the UFC for a title fight in September when they open the UFC Performance Institute there, ”BJ Penn quotes Rodriguez.
