Marina Rodriguez: ‘The whole world will know me’ after UFC Uruguay win over Tecia Torres

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay — Marina Rodriguez predicts a life-changing night for her at UFC Uruguay.

The undefeated strawweight prospect is set to enter the Octagon on Saturday night Montevideo, Uruguay, against Tecia Torres, and believes that the high-profile nature of the bout will bring more eyeballs to her with a decisive victory in Uruguay.

Rodriguez stopped Maria Oliveira with a standing knockout to sign with the UFC after Dana White’s Contender Series last August. Six months later after fighting to a majority draw with Randa Markos, Rodriguez scored her first UFC win by taking out former WSOF champion Jessica Aguilar via decision.
