Christian Rodriguez is part of the UFC featherweight division's deep end, fighting out of the United States — 17 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.
The record shows a bit of everything: knockouts (3), submissions (5), decisions (5). Well-rounded is an overused word; here it's just accurate.
Last time out he beat Hyder Amil (Submission (Guillotine Choke) R1) — the kind of result that keeps a career pointed in the right direction.
