Once-touted featherweight star Yair Rodriguez is finally set to make his UFC return.
A report broke tonight from The Los Angeles Times’ Lance Pugmire (via MMAjunkie) that the No. 11-ranked 145-pound fighter will return to action on August’s stacked UFC 227 pay-per-view from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, and it won’t be an easy comeback fight if the report proves true.
“El Pantera” will reportedly return against surging Russian prospect Zabit Magomedsharipov, marking his first match since he was dominated by former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar in a one-sided, violent stoppage at UFC 211 last May.
He’ll have no easy task in the 15-1 Magomedsharipov, who won an exciting war with Kyle Bochniak in one of this year’s “Fight of the Year’ contenders at UFC 223. ‘ZaBeast’ has won all three of his UFC bouts and has arguably replaced Rodriguez as featherweight’s most touted rising challenger.
Rodriguez won his first six UFC bouts beginning with The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America, and will look to restart a journey back into the top 10 by defeating the lanky, multi-talented Magomedsharipov. Also joining UFC 227 is another reported featherweight bout between Cub Swanson and Renato Moicano. If officially confirmed, the two 145-pound match-ups will join a bantamweight title rematch between rivals TJ Dillashaw and Cody Garbrandt.
UFC 227 will also supposedly feature a lightweight match between former middleweight and welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre and Nate Diaz, as well as a light heavyweight bout between former middleweight champion Luke Rockhold and Alexander Gustafsson, but neither fight has been officially announced.

Prior to his fight against former lightweight champion and top featherweight contender Frankie Edgar last May at UFC 211, Yair Rodriguez was seen as a fighter who could potentially blossom into the UFC’s next big star.
Against Edgar, however, things didn’t go his way, as he was dominated and eventually finished in the second round. Recently speaking on that fight, the 25-year-old said that he simply ‘couldn’t handle the pressure’:
“I couldn’t handle the pressure. It exploded. I was being really hard on myself,” Rodriguez told ESPN in an interview. “I was becoming crazy, honestly. It was weird stuff.
“I wasn’t listening to my coaches. I was getting mad at training,” he said. “I thought I was right about certain stuff. I think during the process of growing and becoming a star, you just stop trusting a lot of people. I started putting myself in a bubble and it really affected me.”
Since that fight, Rodriguez has re-located to Las Vegas, and it appears as if he’s preparing to make his return to the Octagon in the coming months. And when he does, “El Pantera” will be looking to make a statement, as he claimed that he’s ‘not a f*cking joke’:
“I just fought Frankie Edgar, who is next to fight for the title,” Rodriguez said. “That means something. I was on a six-fight win streak before that.
“I want to be the f–king best, and I will show it. I am confident. People around me, who have seen me train, they will tell you. I’m not a f–king joke.”
