Ronaldo Rodriguez`s appearance at UFC Mexico was highly unsuccessful.
Known as “Lazy Boy,” he not only suffered a clear unanimous decision defeat against underdog Kevin Borjas but also missed weight by one pound the day before the fight. Furthermore, it appears he required hospitalization after the match.
Rodriguez shared pictures and videos on Instagram documenting his health struggles.
Despite his first loss in the UFC, Rodriguez, accompanied by his wife Nina, seemed to be in good spirits. The 25-year-old, who boasts over two million followers on Instagram, previously secured victories against Ode Osbourne and Denys Bondar in the octagon. However, his seven-fight winning streak was halted by his defeat to Borjas.
For missing weight, coming in at 127 pounds on Friday (one pound over the flyweight limit for non-title fights), Rodriguez was also fined 20 percent of his purse.
In a prior post, Rodriguez stated clearly that he is not making excuses for the loss.
