Yair Rodriguez continues to impress.
The 23-year-old featherweight prospect passed his toughest test yet on Saturday, outpointing Alex Caceres in a wild and entertaining clash at UFC Fight Night 92. With the win, Rodriguez moves to 5-0 inside the UFC cage, and as could be expected, his fellow fighters couldn't help but revel in the creativity of "El Pantera."
Check out reactions to that fight, plus the best of the rest from UFC Fight Night 92 below.

Most 360's in a #UFC fight ever.. #UFCFightNight92

Speed advantage for Rodriguez is significant. Both men pretty reckless at times but I'm not complaining. #UFCSLC
— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) August 7, 2016
I like how Rodriguez stole Cacers' double punch move in the second round and they mutually smiled at each other. @ufc

Rodriguez might be all spun out..#UFCSLC
— The Diamond (@DustinPoirier) August 7, 2016
A lot of Yair's strikes are glancing. Caceres just flails around like that wacky blow-up tube thing, outside of car shops #UFCSLC
— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) August 7, 2016
Rodriguez has shown all of his fancy/shiny toys but now is the time to show the real fundamentals of his game if he has them. #UFCSLC
— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) August 7, 2016
Still a super fun fight but neither man's shots seem to be doing much damage anymore. @ufc #mainevent

問題なし。
何度も何度も壁にぶち当たって、そのたびに跳ね返されて、残ってるのは格闘技が大好きってことだけでした。
結果は悔しいですが… https://t.co/41i8wt4J2n pic.twitter.com/Ujds1fmCHa
