The ice on which Daniel Rodriguez stands in the Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight division seems to have grown perilously thin.
“D-Rod” will seek his first win in more than two years when he faces Fortis MMA’s Alex Morono in a featured UFC Fight Night 244 attraction this Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Rodriguez, 37, enters the cage on a career-worst three-fight losing streak. He last suited up at UFC on ABC 6, where he dropped a three-round unanimous decision to “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 17 winner Kevin Gastelum on June 22.
