Join us today (May 8) on Bloody Elbow for live results, discussion, round scoring, and full play-by-play as UFC Vegas 26: Rodriguez vs. Waterson goes down at the APEX facility in Las Vegas.
The main event was supposed to be former UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillishaw taking on top contender Cory Sandhagen. However, that bout was scrapped when Dillashaw sustained a nasty cut in training. Replacing that bout is Marina Rodriguez vs. Michelle Waterson in the flyweight division. These two usually fight at strawweight, but the hastily put together replacement fight comes with an extra weight allowance for both fighters.
