LAS VEGAS – Daniel Rodriguez feels like the rightful winner, despite some online saying he’s not.
The UFC welterweight defeated Li Jingliang in a split decision on the main card of Saturday’s UFC 279. It was a competitive bout, but some people criticized the scoring of the fight – including UFC president Dana White.
Rodriguez (16-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC) understands it was a close fight, but feels he did enough to earn the victory.
