Alexander Volkanovski has claimed interim featherweight gold holder, Yair Rodríguez is likely going to be one of the most “dangerous” fighters he will share the Octagon with ahead of their UFC 290 title unification fight – touting his dynamism and knockout ability.
Volkanovski, a current featherweight champion to boot, most recently headlined UFC 284 back in February of this year in Perth, Australia – suffering his first promotional loss in a unanimous decision loss against undisputed lightweight kingpin, Islam Makhachev.
On that same card, Chihuahua native, Rodríguez managed to mint himself as the interim featherweight champion, submitting Josh Emmett with a second round triangle choke submission triumph.
