Ortega, attempting to escape an armbar attempt and pass Rodriguez’s legs, dislocated his shoulder — not the typical result of such a submission attack.
The former two-time title challenger, who refused to quit despite a combined 504-198 significant strike deficit in those championship bouts, immediately doubled back in pain. Fight over. see alsoWas it a legitimate victory for Rodriguez, whose actions directly led to the injury? More or less.
Rodriguez had said throughout the week he had been told a victory over Ortega would net him his first shot at UFC gold. But nothing’s in writing, and unfortunate circumstances have scuttled such plans before. “I told him this thing: I’d rather do it for the championship instead of it being a situation like this,” Rodriguez told reporters Saturday. “If you and I are gonna fight again, hopefully we’ll fight for the title.” Champion Alexander Volkanovski is staring down an elongated layoff too, necessary to heal a fractured right hand suffered in his July 2 title defense. It’s unclear at this stage who would be ready first, Volkanovksi or Ortega.
If White’s reaction to the suggestion of a Rodriguez versus Josh Emmett tilt for an interim belt — the creation of which has become regular after years of rarity — is any indication, the 29-year-old from Mexico will get that title shot after all … sort of.
