Rodriguez (10-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC) was coming off his most high-profile win yet – a second-round TKO victory over former two-division champ and UFC Hall of Famer B.J. Penn – when former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar (22-5-1 MMA, 16-5-1 UFC) came into the picture. For Rodriguez, who’d been looking increasingly sharp with every octagon outing, a pay-per-view main-card spot against an ex-champ had the makings of a career-defining moment. But it was Edgar who rose above at UFC 211 , dominating Rodriguez for two rounds before a badly swollen eye deemed the rising star unable to continue.

BAD MMA News — Fri, 26 May 2017 21:55:47 +0000

A dominant win for strawweight Cortney Casey at UFC 211 is no more. According to MMAFighting.com , which cites an open records request with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, Casey tested positive for elevated levels of testosterone during an in-competition screening, resulting in her unanimous-decision win over Jessica Aguilar to be overturned to a no-contest. The change in Casey’s record (6-4-1 MMA, 2-3-1 UFC) has already been reflected on MixedMartialArts.com, which serves as the official record keeper for the Association of Boxing Commissions and Combative Sports
