UFC featherweight Yair Rodriguez states that he has no issues with his challenger this weekend in Mexico City– however when it pertains to brand-new 145-pound champ Ilia Topuria, it is a various story.
Previous title opposition Yair Rodriguez will aim to take an action back to champion contention this weekend in his home nation when he handles compatriot Brian Ortega, who was born in the United States to Mexican moms and dads. The battle comes without the kind of bad blood that typically features a UFC centerpiece– with Ortega even bringing his young relative to the podium for a ‘staredown’ with Ortega on Wednesday.
If Rodriguez has no ill will whatsoever towards Ortega, that is definitely not the case of the newly-crowned featherweight champ Ilia Topuria.
“I would like to f * ck him up,” Rodriguez informed the media, consisting of The Mac Life, throughout Wednesday’s media day in Mexico City. “I do not wish to battle him, I wish to f * ck him up. There’s a f * cking huge distinction on that, simply to make that clear. And anywhere I f * cking see him, I’ll f * ck him up.”
He included: “F * ck this b * tch. I do not f * cking like him.”
Both fighters have actually participated in tense wars of words on social networks in current months, and Rodriguez recommended that the bad blood is such that he does not think he ‘d have the ability to manage himself if they shared the exact same area.
“I do not typically enter this sort of circumstance with no one, I’m truly considerate,” ‘El Pantera’ stated. “But this f * cking guy, you understand, I simply do not truly like him. I do not like him. I do not need to f * cking like him. I wish to f * ck him up. That’s what I wish to do.”
