MEXICO CITY – Luis Rodriguez has a unique nickname. Rodriguez (16-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) takes on Denys Bondar (19-4 MMA, 0-2 UFC) in a flyweight bout in Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 237 (ESPN+) event at Mexico City Arena. The Dana White’s Contender Series alum says his “Lazy Boy” nickname originates from one of his best moves that he often performs at the gym. “It was a technique in the gym. I finish many opponents that way,” Rodriguez told MMA Junkie and other reporters through an interpreter at Wednesday’s media day
