Meanwhile, after Jones reportedly made headlines a few days ago now the Australian fighter is also in the news to be on the same card. Notably, the featherweight champion will look to defend his title for the fifth time against the interim champion, Rodriguez.
In case you didn’t know, Rodriguez jumped right in and challenged Volkanovski after winning at the co-main event, but he wasn’t sure he’d have the chance. But now, given recent reports, it appears that he may soon have the chance to compete against him and achieve his dream of being the Featherweight champion. And if he triumphs, he will be the third person of Mexican descent to win the UFC championship.
