Imanol Rodriguez is an undefeated Mexican flyweight who trains at American Kickboxing Academy under Javier Mendez. He built a 5-0 regional record in Combate Global and Fury FC before reaching The Ultimate Fighter, then punched his UFC ticket with a first-round knockout on Dana White's Contender Series and stopped Kevin Borjas in his promotional debut in Mexico City in February 2026. Six of his seven pro wins have come by knockout or TKO, and he now takes a real step up against a more tested UFC veteran in Alden Coria.
