Yair Rodriguez will draw his first Octagon assignment of 2019 when he locks horns with Jeremy Stephens in the UFC Fight Night 159 main event on Saturday in Mexico City. Rodriguez has not competed since he authored one of the greatest knockouts in MMA history against Chan Sung Jung on Nov. 10, but a victory over Stephens could put him in position to make a title run at 145 pounds.
