Quick read

Daniel Rodriguez has revealed he spent eight months in a Mexican prison after being caught crossing the border with marijuana following his fight against Kevin Holland. Despite training three times a day behind bars, the lack of protein in the prison diet caused him to lose 20 pounds of muscle mass, leaving him unable to run a mile or hold his own against his wrestler son upon release. Rodriguez said it took nearly three months to feel normal again, and he is now scheduled to fight Uros Medic in the main event of UFC Serbia on August 1.
