A featherweight contest between Yair Rodriguez and Patricio 'Pitbull' will go down later this evening (April 12) on the main card of UFC 314 at the Kaseya Center in Miami.
Rodriguez (16-5) is one of the most prolific strikers in the division. With eight knockouts and five submissions to his name 'El Pantera' sports a true fan-friendly style.

'Pitbull' (36-7) is perhaps the greatest fighter Bellator has ever produced. With 12 knockouts and submission finishes, the hard-hitting Brazilian is as well-rounded as they come.
