Imanol Rodriguez made easy work out of Alden Coria earlier tonight (Sat., Oct. 3, 2026) at UFC 332 LIVE on Paramount+/CBS from inside Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, putting a vicious stop to his flyweight counterpart with a gut-wrenching first-round TKO (body kick and punches).

This was expected to be one of the most exciting fights on the undercard, but Coria simply didn’t show up. The training partner of UFC flyweight champion Joshua Van couldn’t get going at all. He seemed to have immediate trouble figuring out Rodriguez’s forward movement and ferocious pace. It wasn’t looking good almost from the opening bell.

Rodriguez, on the other hand, was firing on all cylinders. The talented young flyweight was winging hard punches that began to land at a good clip. Coria wasn’t countering with much of anything so Rodriguez decided to launch a gnarly front kick to the body. It pierced Coria’s stomach and he immediately went down in pain. Rodriguez was in hot pursuit for some extra ground-and-pound, but it wasn’t needed.
