JRE MMA Show #180 with Daniel Rodriguez
"August 1st. To get out of— to get to go through all that and then, and then to have this opportunity, it's just crazy. And to be here to be here is just, is just crazy, man, because I didn't, I didn't think I was gonna get— I wasn't sure if I was gonna get out, man. Biggest fight of my life coming up, man."
Daniel Rodriguez will headline UFC Serbia on August 1st against Serbian fighter Uroš Medic in his first fight since his 8-month incarceration. He described watching Serbian basketball crowds with war drums and flares, expecting a hostile environment. Rodriguez signed a new 6-fight UFC contract and maintained his ranking throughout imprisonment, viewing the fight as the ultimate comeback story from near-career-ending circumstances.
