Brian Ortega picked up the biggest win of his career this past weekend at UFC Mexico City when he submitted Yair Rodriguez in the third round of their co-main event. The fight was a rematch of their 2022 bout where Ortega suffered an injury causing a premature stoppage to the bout. The two men were friendly prior to the fight, which scheduled for five rounds had massive ramifications in the featherweight division, especially with a new champion.
