LA VEGAS – Despite being on her worst career run, Marina Rodriguez is not ready to forget about the UFC title. The strawweight fighter is determined to break her two-fight losing streak at Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 228 and make another run for the belt. Rodriguez (16-3-2 MMA, 6-3-2 UFC) takes on former Invicta FC champion Michelle Waterson-Gomez (18-11 MMA, 6-7 UFC) in a rematch on the main card of the event. Rodriguez, 36, feels another win against Waterson-Gomez could get her back in title contention. “The UFC title never left my head,” Rodriguez told MMA Junkie and other reporters through an interpreter at Wednesday’s media day. “There’s a reason why I’m here.
