If you’re wondering when Yair Rodriguez may return, Dana White’s answer is cause for concern.
The Mexican featherweight contender hasn’t competed since last year when he won his rematch vs. Jeremy Stephens. A planned summer showdown with Zabit Magomedsharipov fell through due to an ankle injury, and since then we’ve had nothing substantive on when he’ll return.
At the UFC Vegas 15 post-fight press conference, White wrapped up the media session with a cryptic answer that only raises more questions about Yair’s future.
“I don’t think he’s going to fight soon,” White said.
“We didn’t announce it,” he continued.
