Main Card Results UFC Fight Night Tuivasa vs Tybura

The Roufusport product was stuck on the wrong side of things in the early stages, getting out-wrestled in the first round by the Midwest prospect. But as the fight progressed, Rodriguez was able to claw his way back into things, capitalizing on Dulgarian’s failing gas tank and leaning on his own experiences to control the action over the final five minutes.

When the scores were tallied, it was the 26-year-old Rodriguez that came out ahead, with all three officials scoring the fight 28-27 and two of the three seeing it for “CeeRod.” After a pair of wins over unbeaten talents in 2023, Rodriguez picked up right where he left off to begin his 2024 campaign.
