Today’s UFC Long Island event is headlined by a key men’s featherweight contest featuring Brian Ortega taking on Yair Rodriguez.<\/p>\n

Ortega (15-2 MMA) will be returning to action<\/a> for the first time since suffering a unanimous decision loss to reigning featherweight kingpin Alex Volkanovki<\/a> at UFC 266. That setback was preceded by a decision win over The Korean Zombie in October of 2020.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Yair Rodriguez (13-3 MMA) last competed in November of 2021, where he suffered a unanimous decision loss to Max Holloway. Prior to that setback, ‘El Pantera’ had scored back-to-back wins over Jeremy Stephens and The Korean Zombie respectively.<\/p>\n
