Piera Rodriguez landed multiple illegal headbutts at UFC Fight Night 241 that led to her disqualification, but she still questions Ariane Carnelossi ’s inability to continue. After Rodriguez (9-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) landed the blows Saturday at the UFC Apex, Carnelossi (14-3 MMA, 2-2 UFC) was allotted five minutes to recover. Toward the end of that time, the physician informed referee Mark Smith the fight should be waved off. Smith obliged and designated the fouls “intentional.” Carnelossi was not present when cage announcer Bruce Buffer named her the winner. She was escorted backstage and later transported to the hospital for evaluations of her nose, mouth, and head. Rodriguez looked disappointed in the cage and in the hours that followed, vented frustration toward Carnelossi on social media.
