In the co-main event of this stacked fight card in Mexico City, we have a fight in the featherweight division between two of the division’s best, No. 3 ranked Yair Rodriguez and No. 4 ranked Brian Ortega. Rodriguez is coming off only his first-ever shot at the featherweight title where he succumbed to a brutal third-round TKO stoppage loss to the former featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski. Meanwhile, Ortega is coming off a lengthy layoff due to a shoulder injury that occurred when these two featherweights faced off back in July 2022. This rematch has the makings of an absolute barnburner and is a great fight to serve as the co-main event for this fight night event.
Ortega’s last fight ended abruptly as he injured his shoulder in the first round in his first encounter against Yair Rodriguez back in 2022. He walked away with an estimated base salary of $150,000, and with a promotional bonus $156,000.
