Ronaldo Rodriguez landed in hospital after UFC gala in Mexico

Ronaldo Rodriguez landed in the hospital after a UFC gala in Mexico. The fighter did not end up there due to injuries sustained in the fight only by complications from weight cutting.

Ronaldo Rodriguez lost his perfect streak of seven straight wins over the weekend. The Mexican lost at the UFC gala in front of his home crowd to Peruvian Kevin Borjas after a unanimous decision by the judges.

Rodriguez was the only fighter to exceed the contracted weight limit on Friday. Problems with making weight unexpectedly brought serious consequences. The Mexican had already landed in the hospital after the fight. The fighter did not suffer any serious injuries, yet he ended up in the ward, where doctors had to take care of his health.

Ronaldo Rodriguez addressed concerned fans and posted a short post on his Instagram.

– Thank you to the hospital and the Red Cross doctors for such great care, I am very grateful to you. I had some complications due to the failed weight loss, but all is well now. My wife Nina is taking care of me.

Only 25 years old, the player will probably have to rest a lot now before he can even think about starting another preparatory camp.
