Background

According to Rodriguez, he grew up in Los Angeles in a gang affiliated family, alternating between the hood and jail system while continuously getting into fights in both.[5] Without any sports background, Rodriguez began training boxing and eventually mixed martial arts in his mid-twenties.[5]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Rodriguez compiled a 7–0 amateur record as a Welterweight from late 2013 to 2015.[6] Rodriguez later began his professional career in 2015, competing mainly in Combate Americas, with a one off fight at Bellator 170. Eventually racking up a 8–1 record,[7] he competed on Dana White's Contender Series 22,[8] however he did not earn a UFC contract through his unanimous decision win against Rico Farrington.[9] Afterwards, he won the Smash Global Welterweight Championship,[10] before he was given a UFC contract.[11]

Rodriguez was expected to face Bryan Barberena on November 14, 2020 at UFC Fight Night 183.[21] However, Barberena underwent an emergency laparotomy a week before the event, resulting in the fight being cancelled.[22]
