Yair Rodriguez is certain Alexander Volkanovski has yet to face someone like him – and he’s unsurprised. Despite his vast experience and long tenure as UFC featherweight champion, Volkanovski (25-2 MMA, 12-1 UFC) hasn’t come across anyone similar to his style, according to Rodriguez (16-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC). And Saturday, in the main event of UFC 290  at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, it’ll be the first time Volkanovski fights someone with the level of unpredictability that “El Pantera” brings to the cage.
