Yair Rodriguez Shuts Down Zabit Magomedsharipov- Asks Him to Wait Like a Dog
Follow Us
Yair Rodriguez has pulled out of his next fight, set to take place on August 29. He withdrew from the match citing a fractured ankle. Since third-ranked flyweight contender Zabit Magomedsharipov is now without an opponent, he elected to call out the champion, Alexander Volkanovski.
In his post, ‘ZaBeast’ acknowledged that the scrapped fight served as a title eliminator, which he won even without fighting.
As presumed, these claims haven’t gone down well with ‘El Pantera’, who took to Instagram to slam the Dagestani fighter. Additionally, he provided fans with a timeline on when he could be back to compete in the UFC.

On Instagram, the fifth-ranked featherweight wrote, “(Zabit Magomedsharipov) Sit down and wait for me the way you have been waiting. You will get a real good taste of my big Mexican ba**s soon enough. And since when did you become the sh*t talker? That you or your manager? Either way, you’ll both wait for me like the little dogs you are. Tongue out and begging. I’ll see you in October-November 5 rounds”
