Daniel Barez tried to pick a fight with Ronaldo Rodriguez, but instead got unbeaten prospect Andre Lima.

Barez (17-6 MMA, 1-1 UFC) and Lima (10-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) are set to clash this Saturday at UFC Fight Night 254 (ESPN+), which is set to take place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The Spanish fighter thought he was a good matchup for “Lazy Boy” and doesn’t know why Rodriguez ended up drawing Kevin Borjas instead of him for the UFC’s return to Mexico City at the end of the month.
