Saturday, July 16th (2:00 PM EST Main Card, 11:00 AM EST Prelims) Brian Ortega vs. Yair Rodriguez WATCH - The MMA world is still high on you after a brutal and exciting main event war. Even if lose 50-45, the sheer violence and grit will have fans clamoring for your return. But that only lasts for one more fight. Both these men need a win badly here to remain relevant contenders. For #2 Ortega, having 2 failed title shots, even if they are his only losses in his entire career, means a single slip up and the UFC will be eager to get rid of him and bring in new blood. For #3 Rodriguez, long layoffs and failures to capitalize on #1 contender matchups will define his career if he can never push past the top 5 and take a crack at the featherweight title.
