This is the UFC 314 live blog for Yair Rodriguez vs. Patricio Pitbull, the main card featherweight fight Saturday at Kaseya Center in Miami.

Rodriguez (14-5, 1 NC) is No. 8 at 145 pounds in the MMA Fighting Global Rankings, with Pitbull (36-7) one spot behind at No. 9.

This is Pitbull’s first appearance for the UFC following a 15-year run with Bellator.

Rodriguez, a one-time interim featherweight champion, looks to stifle Pitbull’s UFC title momentum before it can even begin.
