The Arizona Department of Gaming confirmed on Tuesday that B.J Penn conqueror Yair Rodriguez has been ‘suspended indefinitely’ on Tuesday (courtesy of MMA Fighting).
Rodriguez battered the UFC legend on route to an impressive TKO victory, but will be out-of-action pending doctor’s clearance on what has been classed as “potentially undisclosed injuries” incurred as a result of the bout.
