Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Rodríguez started his professional MMA career in 2013 and fought under Classic Entertainment & Sports (CES MMA) and Cage Titans promoters in the northeast region of United States. He achieved a record of 8–2 in Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series.[4]

Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series

Rodríguez appeared in Dana White's Contender Series 5 web-series program, facing Jamelle Jones on August 8, 2017.[5] He won the fight via a flying-knee knockout and earned a UFC contract.[6]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Rodríguez made his UFC debut on April 7, 2018, at UFC 223, facing Devin Clark.[7] He lost the fight by unanimous decision.[8]

Rodríguez's second UFC fight was on December 15, 2018, at UFC on Fox: Lee vs. Iaquinta 2 against Adam Milstead.[9] He won the fight via TKO in the first round.[10]

Rodríguez faced John Allan on July 13, 2019, at UFC Fight Night: de Randamie vs. Ladd.[11] He originally lost the fight via unanimous decision;[12] however, Arte was tested positive for banned hormone and metabolic modulator tamoxifen for which he received a one-year USADA suspension and was fined $4,800 by the California State Athletic Commission which overruled the original decision to a no contest.[13]

Rodríguez faced Jung Da Un on December 21, 2019, at UFC Fight Night 165.[14] He lost the fight via knockout in the first round.[15]

Rodríguez faced Marcin Prachnio on August 22, 2020, at UFC on ESPN 15.[16] He won the fight via knockout in the first round.[17]

Rodríguez faced Ed Herman on September 12, 2020, at UFC Fight Night 177.[18] He lost the fight via a kimura in round three.[19] Due to a controversial decision by the referee to pause the fight in the second round after mistaking a clean shot from Rodríguez for a low blow, the organization awarded Rodríguez his win bonus despite the loss.[20] Subsequently, Rodríguez's team also appealed the loss with the NSAC.[21] In turn, the request for an appeal was denied.[22]

Rodríguez faced Danilo Marques on February 6, 2021, at UFC Fight Night 184.[23] He lost the fight via rear-naked choke in round two.[24]

Rodríguez faced Tafon Nchukwi on September 18, 2021, at UFC Fight Night 192.[25] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[26]

After the loss, Rodríguez was released by the UFC.[27]
