Bouncing back from a first round submission loss to Julian Erosa, Christian Rodriguez (12-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) recorded yet another victory over a highly-touted undefeated prospect in Austin Bashi at UFC Fight Night 249. Going into the fight, the then 13-0 Bashi was a considerable favorite following a successful appearance on Dana White’s Contender Series last September, where he choked out Dorian Ramos.
