Rodriguez Fires Back At Donchenko After UFC Paris Callout

Daniel Rodriguez made his feelings clear after Daniil Donchenko called him out following UFC Paris.

Donchenko, who beat Punahele Soriano by unanimous decision on the main card earlier this month, targeted Rodriguez afterward. Per Sherdog, Rodriguez responded on Instagram stories by sharing the callout with a middle-finger emoji and Drake's "I'm Upset" playing in the background.

Donchenko Unbeaten Through Four UFC Fights

The Ukrainian is 15-2 overall with 11 finishes and has gone 4-0 in the UFC with two stoppages. Rodriguez was riding a three-fight win streak before his August 2025 arrest for crossing into Mexico with marijuana, according to the report. He spent nearly eight months in a Mexican prison before his release this past April.

Rodriguez was stopped in 30 seconds by Uros Medic in his return fight. He now holds a 20-6 career record.

The UFC has not confirmed whether the matchup will be booked.
