Rolando Rodriguez didn't have an easy time making it to UFC on ESPN 64 in his home country of Mexico, and the fallout has been even worse.
In the aftermath of his upset loss to Kevin Borjas (10-3 MMA, 1-2 UFC) on Saturday at Arena CDMX in Mexico City, "Lazy Boy" Rodriguez (17-3 MMA, 2-1 UFC) revealed he was hospitalized Monday due to complications stemming from his failed weight cut for the flyweight bout.
