“Good to go, per sources. Max Holloway (@BlessedMMA) vs. Yair Rodriguez (@panteraufc) will headline UFC Fight Night on Nov. 13. Holloway agreed to the date this week. Gotta believe the winner takes on the Volkanovski vs. Ortega winner from tomorrow for the belt. Heck of a main event.”

UFC news: Max Holloway vs. Yair Rodriguez

Max Holloway vs Yair Rodriguez were supposed to headline UFC on ESPN 26 on July 17. But just a few days before the fight Max had to pull out of the fight due to an injury he sustained during a training session. UFC tried their very best to rebook the fight but there weren’t many dates left to book this fight. So now UFC is finally planning to get this fight as the main event for the November card.

 Max Holloway

Max Holloway is coming off a spectacular performance against Calvin Kattar. He broke several records in that fight. He broke his previous record of most strikes landed in a fight. He dominantly won the fight. Before that fight, he had faced back-to-back defeats at the hands of current champion Alexander Volkanovski. In his fourth title defense, Holloway faced Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 245. He lost the fight via unanimous decision, ending his featherweight reign.

The rematch was booked immediately and this time it was Max Holloway who performed brilliantly against Alex. But the results surprised everyone as Alex was again announced the winner via split decision. Now Max would be fighting an important fight against Yair because if he gets the win he might get another shot at the title and fight the winner of Volkanovski and Ortega.

 Yair Rodriguez

Yair Rodriguez hasn’t fought for a long time in the UFC. His last fight was against Jeremy Stephens. Yair won the rematch via unanimous decision. In December 2020, UFC anti-doping administrator USADA announced that Rodríguez had been suspended for six months for failing to notify USADA of his whereabouts and being unavailable for drug testing.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Max Holloway vs. Yair Rodriguez rebooked for November 13
