UFC Fight Night Marina Rodriguez vs. Michelle Waterson: Live updates and results

The UFC Fight Night main event was delivered on late notice -- and so was its headliner, Marina Rodriguez.

After issues getting a visa and 20 hours of travel, Rodriguez finally arrived in the United States on Thursday morning. The Brazil native will meet Michelle Waterson in the main event on Saturday in Las Vegas. The original main event between TJ Dillashaw and Cory Sandhagen was scrapped last week after a Dillashaw injury, and Rodriguez vs. Waterson was made official only four days ago.

Rodriguez and Waterson are both strawweight contenders, but this bout will take place at flyweight because of the short-notice nature of the contest.
