This one didn’t last long at all.
After landing on the business end of a first-round finish in his short-notice promotional debut earlier in the year, Rodriguez gave a better showing of himself in Saturday’s opener, running through Jackson in just over 90 seconds. The heavy-handed newcomer backed Jackson into the fence, and when “The Truth” dipped his head to avoid a shot, Rodriguez blasted him with a big knee, shutting out his lights.
“Dead Game” collects his first UFC victory with the first-round finish, moving his record to 5-1 in the process.
