Rodriguez was launched by the UFC after he reportedly refused to face Magomedsharipov at UFC 227 in 2018, however the Mexican reconciled with the UFC and was re-signed swiftly after.

However the deliberate matchup between Rodriguez and Magomedsharipov by no means materialized till their rumored reserving was set to be introduced. However earlier than something was made official Rodriguez pulled out of the matchup, drawing ire from Zabit’s camp.

The large query now’s what’s going to occur subsequent for Zabit? Will he be requested to face fellow foe Calvin Kattar once more? Or might a conflict with former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway be an choice?

With the Russian thought of to be considered one of two or three possible challengers for the title later this yr or early in 2020, one factor we do know is it is going to be an enormous combat for the division.
