The UFC Featherweight division is hosting a thrilling main event as Brian Ortega takes on Yair Rodriguez for a scheduled 5-rounds from the UBS Arena in Long Island, New York on July 16th.
Ortega is coming off of a loss to featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski, where Ortega fought well and was extremely close to finishing Volk with a guillotine in the 3rd round.
On the other side of the arena, Yair Rodriguez is coming off of an absolute barn burner of a loss against Max Holloway, where the two landed over 400 total combined strikes.
UFC Long Island is also set to host Amanda Lemos vs. Michelle Waterson, Li Jingliang vs. Muslim Salikhov, and Jack Shore vs. Ricky Simon.
It all goes down on July 16, 2022 and can be streamed on ESPN+.
Hold on to your seats, folks
