Rodriguez acquired her third back to back win in the UFC Fight Night 194 headliner on Saturday, as she put on a striking center to procure a consistent ruling against hooking expert Mackenzie Dern at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The Brazilian muay Thai expert is surrounding a title shot, yet she accepts that Esparza — the main lady to overcome her in UFC contest — ought to have gotten the following chance. Rather it went to Weili Zhang, who was allowed a prompt rematch against Rose Namajunas at UFC 268. 

All things considered, if the advancement comes calling after UFC 268, Rodriguez will not miss an opportunity to vie for title gold. 

"I'll never deny an opportunity to battle for the title, however for my purposes, Carla ought to be straightaway and not Weili," Rodriguez said at Saturday's post-battle public interview. "In any case, since the rematch is reserved as of now with Rose and that is going on, then, at that point, if UFC offers me that chance, definitely I'm taking it. Apologies, Carla. I would like for [her] to have the title chance, win the belt and afterward we can do the rematch, yet it can't take long. I can't be pausing." 

On account of her standup capability, Rodriguez has been connected to a matchup with previous 115-pound champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk, who hasn't contended since tumbling to Zhang in an unsurpassed exemplary battle at UFC 248 in March 2020. As a result of that cutback, Rodriguez isn't particularly keen on the chance of confronting the Polish star. 

"Genuinely, Joanna would not like to battle me, so I would prefer not to battle her in light of the fact that for me she shouldn't be in the rankings," Rodriguez said. "She doesn't battle any longer and requirements to account for the young ladies that are doing combating and battling three times each year to acquire a spot." 

All things being equal, Rodriguez would incline toward one more positioned rival who will keep her on a title way. 

"It very well may be the Chinese contender [Xiaonan Yan], whoever. I simply would rather that it's somebody who's in text style of me, and afterward battle for the belt speedy."
