LAS VEGAS – Daniel Rodriguez has never been the talking type, but he knows it won’t be smart for him to keep his mouth completely shut at UFC 279 when he fights Kevin Holland, a fighter nicknamed “Big Mouth.”
“I’m from Los Angeles, bro,” Rodriguez told MMA Junkie and other reporters at Wednesday’s news conference. “I went to school in the LA Unified School District. I went to juvenile hall and LA county jail. I’m used to trash talking. If you ain’t trash talking back, you’re getting roasted, bro. For real.”
Overall, Rodriguez (16-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC) plans on being more of a doer than a sayer against Holland (23-7 MMA, 10-4 UFC). Thus far, his results have spoken for themselves, after all. Outside of a controversial decision loss to Nicolas Dalby, Rodriguez has not lost inside the UFC cage.
