Imanol Rodriguez

Overview

Imanol Rodriguez has finished every fight he's had in the UFC, and none of them reached the judges. The Mexican flyweight from Ensenada is 2-0 in the UFC and 8-0 as a professional across all promotions. Both UFC wins came by KO/TKO.

He's a small-sample fighter with a clean sheet. For now, that's the story.

UFC Career

Rodriguez won by TKO on Dana White's Contender Series, stopping Roque Conceicao in the first round at 2:12. That fight isn't part of his UFC record, but it's the last stop before his debut.

He debuted on February 28, 2026, at UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs Kavanagh, stopping Kevin Borjas in Round 2 at 4:21. Next came Alden Coria at UFC 332 on October 3, 2026, a first-round TKO at 3:11.

Two fights, two stoppages, and he carries a two-fight win streak into his next one.

Fighting Style

Imanol Rodriguez is a busy striker who is hard to hit. He lands a lot of strikes, absorbs very few, and is more accurate and harder to tag than most. He also shoots for takedowns more often than most fighters.

The weak spot is defending against wrestlers. He gets taken down more than most, and he rarely hunts for submissions, so the mat is not where he does his best work.

Both of his UFC wins came by knockout. One ended in the first round and the other in the second. He is 2-0 with no wins by decision or submission, so his results so far point to a fighter who finishes on the feet.
