Reasons Why UFC 314 Odds Favor Yair Rodriguez

Yair Rodriguez is 19-5-1, with arguably the best performance of his career happening in early 2023 when he beat Josh Emmett by submission in the fight for the interim title.

A few months later, he fought Alex Volkanovski for the title but lost by TKO. Then, in February 2024, he lost to Brian Ortega by submission.

After two straight losses, Rodriguez is eager to get back on the winning track, which would keep his championship dream alive. For that, he needs to take the UFC 314 fight seriously.

The good news is that he’s got plenty of weapons in his arsenal that could hurt his opponent. The problem is that his opponent too is a pretty dangerous warrior. They’re both very well-rounded fighters, but “El Pantera” has more experience fighting at the highest level.

Patricio Pitbull Ready to Prove Himself in the UFC

Many believe that Patricio Pitbull is the greatest Bellator fighter of all time. He’s 36-7 overall with 24 of those wins happening under the Bellator MMA banner.

Sure, the UFC is a much tougher competition than Bellator, but Pitbull did fight – and win against – some fighters that later turned into huge UFC stars. The best example is Michael Chandler, whom he beat by TKO in 2019.

Same as his UFC 314 opponent, Patricio Pitbull is a well-rounded fighter who just loves to finish a rival. One-third of his wins happened by KO/TKO, one-third by submission, and one-third by decision.

Yair Rodriguez vs. Patricio Pitbull Prediction
