Takes decision after weight miss
Rodriguez defeated Cameron Saaiman via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was a solid effort from Rodriguez and one that would have earned him plenty of praise had he not missed weight by four pounds Friday morning. He had to forfeit 25 percent of his purse to Saaiman in order for the bout to proceed. Christian was the considerably better fighter for ten minutes before appearing to predictably tire in Round 3. He did enough early on to win, however. The 25-year-old Roufusport product has won three straight since dropping his UFC debut in February 2022, but it means little if he can't make weight his next time out.
