Yair Rodriguez, after defeating Patricio Freire at UFC 314, is firmly focused on a featherweight title shot despite an escalating feud with prospective opponent Lopes. Their pre-fight altercation has intrigued the MMA community, but Rodriguez emphasizes his priority is to challenge Alexander Volkanovski for the belt. Having ended a losing streak, he is motivated by the prospect of a title rematch in Guadalajara, Mexico, where he believes he can capitalize on fan support and home advantage. Rodriguez highlights that his training and strategy take precedence over any animosity.
"In the eyes of the fans, of course, but if you ask me, if you're in my position right now, the beef can stay aside for now."
