This week’s fight card, UFC Vegas 42, which streams in its entirety on ESPN+, features a headlining bout that promises striking fireworks. That contest is a matchup between former champion Max Holloway and Yair Rodriguez.
Holloway lost his title to Alexander Volkanovski in 2019 and failed to regain that belt in their 2020 rematch. He bounced back from those back-to-back losses with an overwhelming striking display against Calvin Kattar in January.
Rodriguez has not fought since October 2019 when he scored a decision win over Jeremy Stephens.
