If you’re going to spew, spew into this.

TUF Latin America champion Yair Rodriguez bagged his second UFC victory on Saturday night. The Mexican fighter upset the odds by scoring a split decision victory over Charles Rosa in UFC 188’s Fight of the Night.

Other than the phenomenal performances from both fighters, the main talking point of the fight was Rodriguez’s unusual Octagon interview with Joe Rogan.

As Rodriguez’s highlights were rolling on the screen, he managed to record a UFC first, unbeknownst to the viewers at home.

When he came back on screen, it had appeared that he had thrown up all over himself. This saw him become the first time a fighter to vomit during an Octagon interview in the promotion’s history, at least according to Mike Goldberg.
