One of the realest interviews to date! UNLEASHED is proud to welcome rising UFC star Daniel Rodriguez from Alhambra, California. The 35-year-old shares his inspiring rise to success as a mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter in his interview with The Dingo and Danny.

 Rodriguez grew up in Los Angeles surrounded by violence and gang-related crime. He finally found a way out in mixed martial arts and has been competing in a variety of fight promotions since his twenties, including Bellator, King of the Cage, and Combate Americas. “D-Rod” also won the Smash Global Welterweight Championship. In February 2020, the purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu made his UFC promotional debut at UFC Fight Night 167. Rodriguez now commands an impressive record of 17 wins in professional MMA, including seven wins in the UFC. On the UNLEASHED podcast, the upcoming welterweight fighter shares his motivation to leave his unique mark on the sport.
