Yair Rodriguez issued a statement after the defeat

After an early loss to Brian Ortega at home, former UFC interim featherweight champion Yair Rodriguez summarized the fight, spoke about his well-being, thanked his team and fans for their support, and shared his future plans.

“Yesterday the result was not in our favor,” the Mexican wrote on social media. “I can only thank God that I was able to come out of it without serious injury or damage.”

“Thank you to my entire team for being with me despite the ups and downs and to all those who support me in both victories and defeats. Special thanks to the Mexican crowd who give me their love and support every time I fight here.”

“I’m still full of energy and moving forward. The only thing left to say is that I accept what happened and keep fighting for a better future. Thank you, Mexico! Love you all!”

Recall that the fight of top welterweights, which became the second most important event of the tournament UFC Fight Night 237 in Mexico City, ended in the third round with the victory of the American by choke arm-triangle.
