Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for Yair Rodriguez after UFC 290 title-fight loss?

(ALSO SEE: Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for Alexander Volkanovski after UFC 290 title defense?)

Yair Rodriguez failed to unify the featherweight titles on Saturday and came out on the wrong end of a one-sided UFC 290 main event against Alexander Volkanovski.

After spending years working his way to the top, Rodriguez (15-4 MMA, 10-3 UFC) could not complete the final piece of the puzzle, because he suffered a third-round TKO loss to Volkanovski at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Where does Rodriguez go from here? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on his future after UFC 290.
