Yair Rodriguez, a former foe of Max Holloway, reveals his pick for Ilia Topuria's first title defense at UFC 308.
We're talking about none other than former interim champion Yair Rodriguez, who was in the title picture just two years ago against Alexander Volkanovski.
Rodriguez gave Holloway one of the toughest fights of his 33-fight career back in 2021 with a back-and-forth war on the feet that earned both men Fight of the Night honors and a $50K bonus to go along with it. Ultimately, it was Holloway's night, getting his hand raised by unanimous decision.
