After his destruction of UFC legend BJ Penn at UFC Fight Night 103, Yair Rodríguez has emerged as the next superstar in the UFC.
In his bout against Penn, Yair Rodríguez fought almost the perfect fight. By switching his stance, being unpredictable with kicks, and using distance masterfully to his advantage, Rodríguez became the first person to drop Penn in his long storied career and just the second person to finish the Hawaiian with strikes. While Penn looked completely out of his depth, Rodríguez put on arguably the best performance of his young career.
