UFC welterweight Daniel Rodriguez has disclosed that he was arrested at the Mexican border and spent eight months in prison before being released last week. Rodriguez explained that he initially thought he would only spend a weekend in custody, or perhaps just one night, but Mexican laws proved much stricter than he anticipated. What he expected to be a brief detention turned into an eight-month ordeal. Kevin Holland paid Rodriguez's bail last week to secure his release. According to Holland, his motivation for posting bail was his strong desire to get a rematch against Rodriguez, creating an unusual situation where a fighter freed his rival specifically to fight him again.
