Disqualified after multiple fouls
Rodriguez lost to Ariane Carnelossi via DQ (illegal headbutt) at 3:16 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This was a classic case of a fighter just handing away a victory. Rodriguez dominated this fight from start to finish, winning the striking exchanges between the two women and dominating on the mat. In top position midway through Round 2, Rodriguez brought her head down and connected with the head of Carnelossi. Referee Mark Smith immediately issued a warning, then Rodriguez did it again, this time with more authority. Carnelossi took a few minutes and eventually decided she couldn't continue, and Smith disqualified Rodriguez, which for all the world appeared to be the correct decision. Instead of sporting a 3-1 record with the UFC, Rodriguez is now 2-2 and has lost back-to-back fights.

Given new fight
Rodriguez is scheduled to compete against Ariane Carnelossi in a strawweight fight at the UFC's May 18 event in Las Vegas, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Not long after her weight miss before UFC Vegas 90, Rodriguez has another fight scheduled. Carnelossi has not fought since May 2022, meaning Rodriguez's opponent will not have competed in over two years heading into their scheduled bout.
