A bantamweight clash between Ray Rodriguez and Rani Yahya is the latest addition to the UFC Fight Night card on March 13. The event, which is set to be headlined by a welterweight bout between Leon Edwards and Khamzat Chimaev, does not yet have a confirmed venue or host city. Rodriguez (16-7 MMA, 0-1 UFC) first announced the matchup via his Instagram account, with Yaha subsequently confirming the bout via his Instagram story. Rodriguez was originally set to face Irwin Rivera at the event, but after Rivera was arrested on attempted murder charges , the bout was removed from the card. But now “The Judge” faces a new opponent, and will attempt to get back to winning ways following his submission loss to Brian Kelleher on his octagon debut at UFC Fight Night 176 last September.
