Story updated at 4:15 p.m. to reflect tweet from John Lineker. The anticipated featherweight fight between Yair Rodriguez and Zabit Magomedsharipov won’t be happening at UFC 228, after all. After a dramatic road to booking the matchup of rising 145-pound stars, Rodriguez (10-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC) has suffered an injury just over two weeks from his scheduled bout and will not be competing against Magomedsharipov (15-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) at UFC 228.
