Media the phenomenon of Yair Rodriguez

What phenomenon?

 

[ThaiSexPills]

Wish he fought more

 

[Reach4theSky]

Still say he holds the title of the greatest ko in UFC history..

What’s impressive to me is how he can fight once every 2 years and somehow hold a top 5 spot the entire time.

The ol "oh I guess I killed him" reaction to a strike you threw but didn't expect to kill them.

 

[RockyLockridge]

I'm a huge fan. he's an awesome fighter a top 5 must watch fighter in the ufc

Def up there. Insane ko.

 

[Sakurabaism]

Great faighta fo sho but he fights like once every 2 years. If he wins the July fight, he'll fight again next year. If he loses, you won't see him until 2024.

If you think that's impressive, there's this guy named Conor who has only won one fight in the lightweight division(6 years ago), yet has remained in the top 10 the entire time.

This is a great KO, but I hate how Yair kept pausing the fight before that whenever KZ was putting it on him. I think it was three times in the 5th round alone.

 

[VinceArch]

Hopefully he fights more often. I'll definitely be rooting for him to smash Ortega's face in.

I like Yair, but I agree his inactivity is frustrating as a fan. I don't know what he does to make money between fights, but he must have a good side hustle, for sure.

 

[J-Pac]

I think he has potential to go a lot further - more activity and sharper boxing are probably the things stopping him from getting to that Max/Volk level right now. Also remains to be seen how his wrestling has come along. It was a while ago, but the way Edgar absolutely mauled him really exposed that part of his game. Edgar near his prime was a tall order for anyone though to be fair. Need to see him fight more often.

That shit was absolutely incredible.

*Luckiest (although still cool AsF!)

I'd argue that Scott Smith's KO or Drago was better.

I like that one too..

 

[ThatGuy7698]

I remember when he fought Frankie Edgar years ago and everyone online was talking about how he would easily beat him.

He's a much better fighter these days don't get me wrong, but he was hyped up a little too much at one point.

The one where he disappeared when USADA came knocking.
