Yair Rodriguez is finally coming home.
“El Pantera” will meet Jeremy Stephens in the main event of UFC Fight Night Mexico City Sept. 21, sources told ESPN.
Rodriguez (11-2) is coming off a last-second knockout win over Chan Sung Jung in November. That win marked his ninth in his last ten fights. The fight will be a homecoming of sorts for Rodriguez, who was born in Parral, Mexico, as this will mark his first fight in Mexico since June 2015.
Stephens (28-16) will look to snap a two-fight losing streak against Rodriguez. He most recently lost to Zabit Magomedsharipov in March following a TKO loss to Jose Aldo last summer.
The event will take place at Arena Ciudad de Mexico and will be the venue’s fifth time hosting a UFC card.
