Dana White: I don’t think Yair Rodriguez is going to fight any time soon

If you’re wondering when Yair Rodriguez may return, Dana White’s answer is cause for concern.

The Mexican featherweight contender hasn’t competed since last year when he won his rematch vs. Jeremy Stephens. A planned summer showdown with Zabit Magomedsharipov fell through due to an ankle injury, and since then we’ve had nothing substantive on when he’ll return.

At the UFC Vegas 15 post-fight press conference, White wrapped up the media session with a cryptic answer that only raises more questions about Yair’s future.

“I don’t think he’s going to fight soon,” White said.

“We didn’t announce it,” he continued.
