Cejudo: Rodriguez can beat Volkanovski on points

Former UFC champion in two weight divisions Henry Cejudo believes that the holder of the interim featherweight title has Yair Rodriguez there are real chances to defeat a full-fledged champion in this category Alexandra Volkanovski.

Their fight will take place on July 8 at UFC 290 in Las Vegas.

“The majority will bet on Volkanovski. But I think that Rodriguez added a lot. Now he has added a lot of new things to his arsenal, plus he is an excellent athlete. This fight may turn out differently for Alex than his last one with Makhachev. Yair will kick more often. If the fight goes to the ground, then Yair will be much more active even from below.

I think Rodriguez can win on points. It is not necessary for him to hit often, you can pay attention to the power of blows. I really believe that Yair can win,” Cejudo quotes MMA Fighting
