No one knows when or if Yair Rodriguez and Zabit Magomedsharipov will be booked to fight again, but until that time comes there is still plenty of heat between them.
The two featherweight contenders saw a recently reported booking officially called off after UFC President Dana White announced that Rodriguez suffered an ankle injury that would keep him out of an Aug. 29 main event meeting with Magomedsharipov. Rodriguez and Magomedsharipov have been in each other’s orbit since they were first booked to face one another at UFC 228 in September 2018, a bout that was also cancelled due to a Rodriguez injury.
