UFC Mexico City poster released

Two of the UFC’s most popular Mexican fighters are getting their chance to shine on the poster for UFC Mexico City.

Yair Rodriguez and Alexa Grasso are featured prominently on the promotional material for the Sept. 21 event, which takes place at Arena Ciudad de Mexico.

Looking to follow-up on a spectacular last-second KO of Chan Sung Jung last November, Rodriguez now faces 30-fight UFC veteran Jeremy Stephens in the UFC Mexico City featherweight main event.

Grasso will also be looking for back-to-back wins when she takes on former strawweight champion Carla Esparza.
