Video: Watch UFC Fight Night 103 headliner Yair Rodriguez's 'Fight of the Night' with Charles Rosa


At just 24, Yair Rodriguez looks primed for bright things in his future. But he’s already had some memorable moments in the octagon.

On Sunday Rodriguez (8-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) takes on UFC Hall of Famer B.J. Penn (16-10-2 MMA, 12-9-2 UFC) in UFC Fight Night 103’s main event at Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix. The card airs on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.

It’s Rodriguez’s second consecutive main event, and a win could vault him up the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA featherweight rankings, where he’s currently an honorable mention and just outside the top 15.

It’s been a fast climb for the high-flying Mexican product, who’s already earned three fight-night bonuses in just five UFC appearances.

Ahead of UFC Fight Night 103, check out Rodriguez’s first $50,000-winning performance, a UFC 188 win over a gritty Charles Rosa in June 2015.
