LAS VEGAS – [autotag]Ronaldo Rodriguez[/autotag] has no problem letting the world know his intentions.

The UFC flyweight prospect is already making it clear that he’s coming for the UFC belt, and in his mind, it’s just a matter of time. Rodriguez (17-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) returns for his second UFC fight on Sept. 14, as he takes on Ode Osbourne (12-7 MMA, 4-5 UFC) on the pay-per-view main card of UFC 306, which goes down at Sphere in Las Vegas.

“Lazy Boy” sees this as a perfect opportunity to show everyone what he’s all about.

“I see myself ripping heads off and taking one step closer to my dreams,” Rodriguez told reporters on Thursday when asked about his return to the cage. “It’s getting closer to my objective, which is being the champion that Mexico needs.”

For his second UFC fight, Rodriguez is getting a high card placement, fighting on the pay-per-view main card of Noche UFC. He believes this is part of his destiny of becoming a UFC champion.

“Brother, I feel blesses,” Rodriguez said. “I can’t find any other explanation besides God’s will to have me here today. I think this September 14 I will sign the plans that God has for me and what I’ve been saying, ‘I’ll be the new Mexican champion in the UFC.”
