News DANA WHITE CONFIRMS(Video): Yair Rodriguez Out For a While. Time to cut him again?

[Sirwastealot]

Am I crazy for thinking Yair might have popped for PEDs? They don't announce when someone fails a test anymore and Dana said it has nothing to do with the UFC and he isn't injured. Guys Yair might have popped...

Watch this video

I think it's medical, they need to perform an emergency surgery to give yair some balls.

Why keep trying to fight Yair?Just fight someone else.There are other people in the div for Zabit to fight...

 

[MCS]

I don't understand why they keep trying to make this fight or any high profile fight with Yair. Zabit is too good to be sitting out. There are other opponents.

From Zabits official Instagram. Translation from the post
"Nothing happens by chance, but only by the will, wisdom and predestination of the Almighty.
There will be no fight"

One of the hashtags says " fifth time " alluding to this being the fifth time Yair has declined to fight him.....

What are you doing if you are UFC? They already cut him once for ducking... and what should Zabit do now?

UPDATE: Coach mark Henry confirms.

UPDATE: DANA WHITE confirms.

Dana clearly says that Yair didn't decline the offer to fight Zabit towards the end of the very last video you posted, so why the fuck did you edit your title to say the exact opposite of what Dana confirmed?

All fair points, albeit likely moot ones, don't seem him beating Max tbh.

We'll find out. I think he's got a very good chance. He's one of the worse stylistic match ups for max in the entire division.

0/10. Worst troll job. You got 2 replies and didn't maintain the conversation with poorly defended points for repeated posts. Come on. That's just crap trolling.

You fall for it, nothing else matters to me

They should have done Holloway/Zabit, and Yair/Kattar

Don't understand why Kattar got that fight when he's ranked lower

Well Yair/Kattar will be a good fight but Holloway/Zabit is a MISMATCH because Max will destroy Zabit

 

[Deleted member 567183]

He’s a very good fighter. It’s so weird he doesn’t want this fight. They gotta get zabit a top contender fight.

Against Who ? the guys below Zabit are either injured or he already fought them and the only one who is left for Zabit in the Top 10 is Allen

 

[Deleted member 567183]

Imagine if Yair became champ. He be worst than McGregor when it come to defending the belt.

Why imagine he might become Champ but he just needs to stop ducking and excuses

Yeah. Feels like we have been waiting on Yair for years... and that is because we have been waiting on Yair for years.

I understand UFC want that Mexican viewing market and they were hoping to groom Yair as a star because of his potential.

But at this point, it has been nothing but potential. It has been more than 3 years since Yair beat BJ Penn as the hot up-and-comer.

The fight with Korean Zombie? That was two years ago. Yair did not fight at all in 2020 and now Dana is saying it will be more waiting on him in 2021.

At what point does the UFC realize Yair the dominant dynamic Mexican superstar is only an idea? Not a reality.

What a fucking joke, cut this clown


Again.

 

[Ideanudge]

Wouldn't be too surprised about peds because how poignant his behavior is and him looking yoked at times.

 

[HHJ]

I think he's ducking him because he's afraid Zabit is gonna dance on his head.

He is just being smart. If Zabit cant do 5 rounds like all the people autistically shriek in every thread about him,Volk can afford to wait until he is put in a 5 rounder,and if Zabit loses,thats a challenger removed without any sweat off his back. Thats how you stay champ for a long time w moves such at these

 

[HHJ]

He was gassed and wouldn't have survived the fourth round if there was one scheduled. FACT.

good thing it was only 3 rds
If fighters cant beat him in 3 that is completley on them.

 

[HHJ]

So if Masvidal ducks Leon for the 5th time, it's time to cut him?

Fight was never made.
Yair actually agrees to the fight and then pulls out

 

[Hellowhosthat]

I think it's medical, they need to perform an emergency surgery to give yair some balls.

Either that or he's thrown his back out from the excessive ducking.

 

[JKS]

Zabit wanted a 4 rounder that's why

That's an incoming draw

 

[GaryEric]

why does everyone keep.saying mexico is such a big market? its a shithole....can anyone back this up?

I dunno maybe Boxing has thrived in the mexican market forever and ever?

and ufc wants a piece?

and many mexicans live in the USA?
