And I don't even like Jean Silva but he's knocking dudes dead, while Yair has managed to finish just 1 opponent in the past 5 years.

yair has only fought top flight competition for the last 5 years
 
he DEFINITELY does not deserve a title shot after beating Pitbull. the fact that idea was even floated as legitimate is nonsense.

dude needs to fight Lopes. or fuck it, someone else like Arnold Allen. Yair is too inactive.

Yes, and he’ll beat your Jeremy Stevens or Josh Emmett, but when he fights, a real title contender or champ, he always gets wrecked.

Diego Lopes was the perfect fight for him and in fact, he probably doesn’t deserve it being one and two in his past three fights… Lopes just fought and almost won the title. The idea that he turns that down and thinks he’s a somehow above that is preposterous.

he didn't get wrecked by max... Only volk and Edgar ever wrecked him

Yeah he's entertaining WHEN HE FIGHTS, but the guy fights once a year on average.

And the reason people don't like him is because he's a delusional primadonna who somehow thinks he deserves a title shot being 1-2 in his last 3 fights, while refusing to fight a guy he has beef with who happens to be above him in the rankings.

And I don't even like Jean Silva but he's knocking dudes dead, while Yair has managed to finish just 1 opponent in the past 5 years.

What is the source of Yair turning down a fight with Lopes?
 
Yair is pretty good...but at the same time is kind of a bitch. Kinda want to see him get his ass beat some more.

Yair Rodriguez: Grudge Match vs. Diego Lopes 'Has to Happen at Some Point'

While Yair Rodriguez was focused on a featherweight title shot after beating Patricio Freire at UFC 314, he’s well aware that another potential opponent has plenty of intrigue within the MMA community after events of this past week.

While YairRodriguez was focused on a featherweight title shot afterbeating PatricioFreire at UFC314, he’s well aware that another potential opponent has plentyof intrigue within the MMA community after events of this pastweek.

During the UFC 314 pre-fight press conference, Rodriguez and Lopeswere involved in a shouting match in Spanish. While the bad blood is believed to have involved Rodriguez training partner MarcoBeltran and potentially, the Lobo Gym MMA team — where Lopes trains — the exact nature of the feud is unknown. Rodriguez acknowledged that a bout with Lopes, who lost a unanimous decisionto AlexanderVolkanovski in the UFC 314 main event, might have more interest within the MMA fanbase at the moment.

“In the eyes of the fans, of course, but if you ask me, if you’re in my position right now, the beef can stay aside for now,”Rodriguez said at the post-fight press conference. “The only thing that I’m looking for right now is fighting for that belt.”



Rodriguez wouldn’t further elaborate on the animosity, but he expects more details will come to light in the future.

“What happened? I think when the moment comes we will talk more about it, but for now, I just want to focus on the title fight,which is fighting against the current champ Alexander Volkanovski in a rematch and I want to do that in Guadalajara,”Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez ended a two-bout losing streak by defeating Freire viaunanimous decision at UFC 314. He faced Volkanovski for the145-pound belt at UFC 290 in July 2023, when he lost to the Aussievia third-round TKO. However, after the promotion announced thatNoche UFC — also known as UFC 320 — would be held in Guadalajara,Mexico, on Sept. 13, “El Pantera” believes a rematch in his homecountry is possible.

“Volkanovski has fought all around the world,” Rodriguez said. “Hehasn’t fought in Mexico. Guadalajara isn’t super high elevation, Ithink it makes sense for the UFC to bring a huge numbered event inGuadalajara and I think Volkanovski will be able to run it back[with] me. I think he’ll be happy to do that.”

Regardless of what the future holds for Rodriguez, he believes thathe and Lopes will square off sometime in the future.

“I think it has to happen at some point,” Rodriguez said. “Iactually talked to my friend MarcoBeltran and I told him, ‘I got you, bro. I’ve got this one foryou. I’ll make sure at some point whenever I have the chance tofight him, I’ll make sure I got it for you.’ … I was able to playit cool for as long as I could keep it cool, but the guy was tryingto be disrespectful in the press conference. Trying to [be] like,‘Oh, how many losses does he have,’ kind of like attacking me likethat. I was like, ‘You know what? That’s it.’ I’m not able to f—ingtake it anymore.”

Wtf was that lol. That disagreement came outta nowhere. Both were fine and with one word they exploded at each other. If I could control it, I'd say "no, you two fight each other this night, let Volk fight Pitbull or Jean Silva"

But Yair is a killer. He is there to play and hurt ppl. He sometimes hides how good he is since he targets specific matches. He may be #3 , 2 , 1 pfp... I couldn't tell with confidence any fighter on the roster could beat Yair...

I thought his fight wih Volk was really fuckin fun and I have no idea why anyone would be sick of that. It's not just about wins and losses. His loss to Ortega was a fun as fuck fight too.
 
I haven’t been able to stand Yair since he ducked Zabit into retirement for like 3 years straight.


The talent doesn’t match the entitlement and he easily gets folded by every legit guy hes fought.
 
Ortega with 13 UFC fights in 11 years is worse, imo. No matter how much he loses, or how many years he’s sat on the shelf.

He had to be right up there with Covington, and Masvidal for getting undeserved TS, and top 5 rankings.

If you get rid of one. Get rid of them both. I’m 100% fine with that.
