– Yair Rodriguez is viewed as one of the top prospects in MMA today and the UFC will push him into his first main event spotlight this Saturday night at UFC Fight Night 92 against Alex Caceres.

Who knows…. This UFC fight card might actually blow everyone away as far as fighter performances go. Caceres isn’t the type of fighter to dodge a standup battle so Rodriguez should have ample time to land heavy offense and impress in his first main event billing.
Tamdan McCrory will get a chance to bounce back from his recent loss in the octagon when he faces Nate Marquardt in a middleweight bout on the undercard of UFC Fight Night 96.
Prior to those loses, Leites was on an eight-fight win streak that was highlighted with wins over Tim Boetsch, Francis Carmont, and Ed Herman.
A former NCAA Division I national champion and four-time All-American at Edinboro University, Gillespie turned his wrestling prowess into a professional MMA career in January 2014, rattling off seven wins.
Sure of course. It’s a free UFC fight card, but do not expect huge ratings. In his last fight, Caceres defeated Cole Miller at UFC 199 on June 4.
The co-main event will feature one of the top featherweights in the world as Dennis Bermudez fights Rony Jason. The 29-year-old American stopped a two-fight losing streak in February by beating Tatsuya Kawajiri by unanimous decision.
Dias, 32, now holds the no. 10 position in the UFC’s featherweight division.
Diaz, who last fought in 2015 when he lost to Anderson Silva, told TMZ Sports that he doesn’t really need to fight again to make a living.
“After that fight, my goal is to win the next one and then the next one and the next one until I get there”. Taylor will be making her UFC debut in this fight and she is the current King Of The Cage Women’s Strawweight Champion.

Dias (23-4-1) is 3-3 in the UFC. Both fighters were on point at the scale on Friday.
