two illegal headbutts got her disqualified this past weekend at UFC Vegas 92, but the women’s strawweight fighter still can’t fathom why Ariane Carnelossi wasn’t able to continue fighting.
There was a massive boxing card going down in Saudi Arabia on Saturday so you may have missed UFC Vegas 92’s “Prelims” undercard. One of the matchups that played out was a 115-pound fight between Rodriguez and Carnelossi. Both women were coming off losses their last time out so this weekend was a big chance for them to regain momentum mid-way through 2024.
social media rant, which can be seen below:
“I rather lose a fight because of a mistake I did, than go home calling myself a ‘winner’ knowing I am a coward,” wrote Rodriguez. “I made a big mistake, maybe because of adrenaline…But you have to go to sleep with that lie in your head your entire life! [Carnelossi] and you call yourself brave? I hope you and your team enjoy my money!”
Carnelossi, who has shown to be a tough and durable fighter throughout her UFC tenure, also took to social media to explain her situation and reveal some injuries she suffered from the fight. Check it out below:
Instagram. “After some tests, it was detected [I have] a fractured nose and an injury to the zygomatic bone, plus the formation of a blood clot in the sinus region.
“Thank you EVERYONE who sent me positive messages. As for [Rodriguez], what people need to understand is that what often differentiates humans from animals are the RULES.”
