“Guys, I would like to inform everyone that I am off the UFC Fortaleza card on February 2nd! I ended up injuring my hand in training, and I won't have time to be 100% ready for February. I was very upset, because since I started in the sport, I have never stopped doing a fight, for any reason, but I also know that the public deserves to see the best of each athlete and that will be the case”, Marina posted.
The Bage native was hired by Ultimate in August after her appearance on the reality show Contender Series Brasil. Rodriguez knocked out Maria de Oliveira in the first round and impressed franchise commander Dana White. His debut with the organization was in UFC Sao Paulo in September, where it tied with Randa markos.
