Next fight scheduled
Rodriguez is scheduled to compete against Kevin Borjas in a flyweight fight at UFC Mexico on March 29, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Rodriguez made his UFC debut in 2024, which was a strong year for the flyweight. He forced a last-second submission to Denys Bondar in his UFC debut and followed that up by outlasting Ode Osbourne via decision at Noche UFC in September. On the momentum side, Rodriguez is favored over Borjas, who is still looking for his first win with the promotion.

Digs deep to earn UFC 306 win
Rodriguez defeated Ode Osbourne via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-27, 29-27) at UFC 306 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
The fact Rodriguez managed to win this fight is nothing short of a miracle considering the trouble he found himself in throughout the opening round. He was knocked down by Osbourne extremely early on and managed to survive. He then found himself in about the deepest triangle choke you will ever see. Again, Rodriguez pulled through. He flipped the script on Osbourne completely in Round 2, earning a 10-8 score from two of the judges. He then went out and won Round 3 on all three scorecards. While Ronaldo's ability to dig deep and persevere is remarkable, but he can't count on that every time out. He doesn't get his head off the center line and absorbs far too much damage. If Osbourne didn't gas out, he would have lost this fight. The 25-year-old Rodriguez, now 2-0 in the UFC, has plenty of work on before his next bout.

Taking on Osbourne in September
Rodriguez will face Ode Osbourne at Noche UFC at the Sphere in Las Vegas on September 14, per Carlos Legaspi of ESPNDeportes.espn.com.
ANALYSIS
Rodriguez will head into the bout riding a six-fight win streak across promotions, including a second-round submission victory over Denys Bondar in his UFC debut. The five-foot-six Mexican will hope to overcome a size and reach disadvantage in comparison to the older Osbourne. With just a 3-2 record in decision fights and a 13-0 record in all other finishes, Rodriguez will likely be hoping for an early finish.
