Remember The Name: Yair Rodriguez /
Winner of season one of The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America, Mexico’s Yair Rodriguez remains a dynamic and exciting fighter in the 145-pound weight class, where he has scored wins over Dan Hooker, Andre Fili, Alex Caceres, BJ Penn, Chan Sung Jung and Jeremy Stephens, with his only loss coming at the hands of Frankie Edgar in 2017. Did I mention he’s picked up seven post-fight bonuses along the way? About the only thing holding Rodriguez back from a higher spot here is inactivity, as he’s been on the sidelines since his 2019 win over Stephens.
