Yair Rodriguez

In a hugely anti-climatic end to tonight’s fantastic UFC Long Island card in New York — Chihuahua striker, Yair Rodriguez scores himself a TKO victory over two-time title challenger, Brian Ortega in the headlining clash, after the latter suffered a dislocated shoulder in the opening round of their main event bout.

Stunning Ortega with a series of strikes on the feet, Rodriguez looked incredibly sharp with his striking, landing repeated straight right hands as the former marched forward in a bid to stifle the offensive approach from the #4 ranked Rodriguez.

Scrambling at the fence and battling for position, Yair Rodriguez managed to stuff an eventual takedown attempt from Ortega, forcing a standup as the two reverted vertically.

Involved in another scramble soon thereafter — this time on the deck, Ortega suffered a dislocation of his right shoulder as he appeared to attempt to setup a heel hook as Rodriguez returned to his feet, forcing a stoppage in the headlining clash in the first round.

Following the headliner, both Rodriguez and Ortega remained receptive to a rematch in the future, however, Rodriguez remained coy on his pursuit of a featherweight title fight against Alexander Volkanovski off the back of his anti-climatic win against Ortega.

Michelle Waterson, Amanda Lemos

Coming off a loss to Marina Rodriguez last May, Waterson was looking to get back to the win column having dropped three out of her last four with a sole win over Angela Hill by a split decision. She clashed with Lemos at tonight’s UFC on ABC 3: Ortega v Rodriguez at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York.

Both ladies got off to a cautious start with Lemos getting the better in stand-up. A failed takedown attempt by Waterson got her trapped in a guillotine choke to get finished in round two.
