UFC welterweight Daniel Rodriguez has revealed his absence since July 2025 has been due to an eight-month prison sentence in Tijuana, Mexico.
Rodriguez last fought Kevin Holland at UFC 318, winning via Unanimous Decision after three rounds to extend his record to 20-5, 10-4 in the UFC, and climbing to No. 14 in the rankings. However, he had been notably absent since then and rumors continued to percolate over why that was.
Rodriguez posted an Instagram Reel to confirm that he had been out of the public eye because he was in a Tijuana prison. No details are available as of yet pertaining to why he had spent that time, but his management reportedly told “MMA Junkie” that he would be releasing a detailed statement next week.
“Eight months in a cage in Tijuana, Mexico, never killed my spirit. I did everything possible to stay on point and ready for my return to the UFC Octagon, expect a hungrier more focused version of myself. They tried to take it all away now it’s time for me to come back and show you all the monster prison created, thank you to legal and management team, family and real friends to help me be a free man today,” the caption read.
Sean Strickland was among those commenting on the post, “Bro your cell is nicer than my first apartment,” which then prompted Rodriguez to say, “My cell mate ran the whole prison. I was in the VIP section.”
AEW Dynasty will mark Will Ospreay’s first pay-per-view match since returning from neck surgery, so naturally, some of us (31%) believe that he will go over in order to put an immediate exclamation point on his comeback. Meanwhile, the majority of Wrestling Inc. staff are thinking about Ospreay’s long-term future.
Yes, a Continental Championship win would be a nice addition to “The Aerial Assassin’s” resume. And yes, a win over Jon Moxley, the defending champion, would certainly avenge the attack that Moxley and the Death Riders unleashed on Ospreay prior to his television hiatus. Technically, though, Ospreay is coming off a victory from his last major pay-per-view appearance, AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, as well as a string of victories in his post-return. So does he really need a moment of triumph at Dynasty?
According to 69% of WINC, he doesn’t, especially when he has a bigger goal of capturing the AEW World Championship.
After Dynasty, AEW’s focus will likely shift to the Owen Hart Foundation tournament, where the winners will receive world title shots at AEW All In, set in London, England. Who is currently the star of the All In poster? Will Ospreay. And who is a notable native to England? Also Ospreay.
Last year, Ospreay progressed to the finals of the Men’s Owen Hart Foundation tournament, but ultimately fell short to “Hangman” Adam Page, and in turn, fell short of his world title dream. Given this, plus his glaring presence on the AEW All In advertisements, we expect Ospreay to circle back to the Owen Hart Foundation tournament and win it so he can make his dream a reality at this year’s All In event.
A Continental Championship victory over Jon Moxley would hinder that course, or at best, be an awkward stepping stone to the larger gold prize. Considering that Moxley has greatly elevated the Continental title, we see no need for AEW to take it off of him at this point either, further affirming our belief that the company will avoid that scenario altogether.
Updated betting odds have been released for AEW Dynasty, which takes place Sunday, April 12 in Vancouver. The latest lines from BetOnline.ag show notable shifts across several matches, including multiple title bouts where challengers are now favored to walk out with championships.

The AEW Women’s World Championship match sees Thekla as a massive favorite at -3000 over Jamie Hayter, who is currently at +900. This represents a significant shift from the opening odds of -700 and +400, respectively.
One of the most notable changes comes in the AEW World Tag Team Championship match. Champions FTR are now heavy underdogs at +700, while the challengers Edge and Christian Cage—competing as Cope & Cage—are strong favorites at -2000. The opening odds were significantly closer, with FTR at +400 and Cope & Cage at -700.
In the AEW Continental Championship match, Jon Moxley is now the underdog at +225 against Will Ospreay, who is favored at -350. Both competitors have seen their odds shift since opening, indicating growing confidence in Ospreay capturing the title.

With several challengers now favored and odds continuing to shift, AEW Dynasty is shaping up to be one of the more unpredictable events on the AEW calendar.
Liv Morgan appeared on Insight with Chris Van Vliet to discuss her recent injury, her return to WWE programming, and several key moments from the past year, including WWE Survivor Series, the Royal Rumble, and Elimination Chamber.
During the interview, Morgan reflected on reaching her eighth appearance at WrestleMania and how her mindset has evolved over time.
“Iconic. We’re just going, and we’re just getting better matches every single year.”
When asked about pressure heading into this year’s event, Morgan made it clear she is focused on staying present rather than getting overwhelmed.
“Not right now, and not in a bad way. I don’t know. I feel like since I’ve come back from my injury, I’m very much just trying to stay in the moment and be present. Obviously, WrestleMania is heavy on my mind, but I’m not feeling any anxiety or pressure yet. I’m just kind of taking everything day by day and just preparing as best as I can. So no, I don’t feel pressure right now in this moment.”
Morgan also detailed the moment she suffered her injury and how quickly she realized the severity of the situation.
“Yeah, I just took a weird fall, tried to brace myself, which is stupid. As soon as it happened, I knew, just because you can’t feel anything. But first of all, it’s like such an intense pain, then it just goes away, and then you can’t feel anything because your shoulder is just not connected. So yeah, I knew. I rolled out the ring. I tried to pop it back in. Medical came and tried to pop it back in, and it was kind of just like, I can’t continue, I can’t do anything else. So I had to throw in the towel, which I hated. I think I tried to be really optimistic until my MRI news, I was like, I think I’m okay, but I had done the same thing two years prior. So I knew it wasn’t okay, but I didn’t really want to speak it into existence.”
Her return at WWE Survivor Series stood out as a major highlight, one she says exceeded her own expectations.
“I don’t even know how I did that. My eyes, I was like, Whoa, dilated. I must have tapped into something right there. I don’t know. But yeah, it was so iconic, and I couldn’t have written a better return, and I mean that so wholeheartedly. I couldn’t, first of all, I would not even have come up with that myself, that was so much more grand and special to me than anything I could have thought of myself. So I was just so happy and honored.”
Morgan also spoke about enduring one of the hardest moments of her career during her match with Bianca Belair at Elimination Chamber, where she took a particularly impactful hair whip.
“I had a scar for quite a while. Honestly, I haven’t looked at it in a bit. I still think I have a very bit of a tail end mark. Also my back too. I have a scar on my back from some injury I had taken from the Elimination Chamber. So yeah, it scarred me up pretty well. But honestly, that’s like one of my favorite matches ever. That was one of my favorite matches ever, and like the final two with Bianca and I is one of my favorite moments. I feel like the audience really didn’t know who was going to take it. I think just that Chamber specifically in and of itself, with Jade and Naomi. I just think it was so well done. I think that was like one of the best Chamber matches, in my opinion, for the women.”
The interview offers a detailed look at Morgan’s journey through injury recovery, her mindset heading into WrestleMania, and the moments that have defined her recent run in WWE.
Sports betting can look hard, but learning the basics makes it fun. By reading trusted reviews, bettors can visit https://kaszinóútmutató.com/ first and learn what makes a safe casino online experience. To stay safe, many players hunt for secure casino tips that will still hold up in 2026 as new rules reshape casinos. By understanding the main ways to bet, every fan can place smarter wagers on big games. This article walks through the top three types of sports betting: Moneyline, Point Spread, and Over/Under. It explains how each market works, when it pays to use one over the other, and what tips help beginners avoid common traps. Every section stays simple, uses real examples, and keeps the math light. By the end, readers will feel ready to pick a style that matches their risk level and knowledge, so the next match or tournament is even more exciting. Importantly, the guide also highlights responsible gambling tools, such as setting time limits, depositing only what can be lost, and recognizing when the fun stops. Practice makes progress, not perfection.
Moneyline Betting
Moneyline betting is an easy, straightforward form of sports wagering and therefore the ideal starting point. Players simply select which team or athlete will win the match-up using odds presented with either a plus sign (favorites) or a minus sign (underdogs). Assuming the Lakers are at -150 against the Bulls at +130, bettors would need to risk $150 in order to win $100 on them; while wagering $100 would bring back $130 instead. There’s no spread or total number to consider here — only final outcome matters. Moneylines offer beginners a simpler introduction to betting while still rewarding careful research. Fans keeping tabs on injuries, weather forecasts and lineup changes can identify instances in which an overpriced favorite or an underestimated underdog offers value to fans who pay close attention. Moneyline bets require not just guesswork on who will win but also an understanding of probability compared to posted odds, with skill in that arena translating directly to profits. Online price comparison sites make shopping for the lowest possible cost and avoiding overpaying easier than ever before.
Point Spread Betting
Point spread betting evens out the scoreboard prior to every matchup, offering oddsmakers an equalizer before either team has even touched a ball. They set an initial margin that the favorite must overcome while any losses suffered by their underdog can still “cover”. Suppose that Cowboys and Giants each are listed at +6.5 against one another; betting against point spread would yield equal scoreboard. Spread backers who bet against Dallas win when it wins by seven or more; when New York falls by six or fewer or wins outright, underdog tickets become profitable; half points prevent tie outcomes known as pushes; spread betting rewards those who delve more deeply into matchup analysis than moneylines do. Yardage trends, coaching styles and home-field advantage all play into whether a favorite can score enough runs to clear the spread. When public money poured into one team and another favored squad saw its spread expand dramatically giving patient bettors access to higher numbers on either side. Beginners should keep in mind that most spread payouts are close to even money but come with an additional vigorish, typically listed as -110, that must be overcome to generate long-term profitability. Buying half points in football betting may increase costs so this strategy should only be employed sparingly.
Over/Under (Totals) Betting
Over/Under, or Totals betting, poses the following question: how many points, runs or goals will both teams combine for? A sportsbook will then set an expected total like 465.5 in football or 212.5 for basketball that bettors can then predict will go over or under their projected figure. Due to being independent from victory or defeat, totals can provide great value when weather or pace may alter scoring patterns – like on an unforgiving windy Chicago evening that lowers baseball totals while Phoenix indoor courts with fast courts can elevate basketball numbers. Reading recent form helps too. If two hockey goaltenders arrive late with short rest between, an Over can catch the market off guard and cause it to quickly adjust its books; therefore, timing is of the utmost importance and sharp players monitor line movement before jumping on any opening number before it has even reached public awareness. Most totals are booked at -110 so bankroll management must remain paramount as totals often feature as the largest wager in an event’s odds structure; compare multiple outlets before placing your ticket for maximum efficiency and research purposes.
Choosing the Right Bet for You
Selecting between moneyline, spread or total betting depends entirely upon personal comfort and information needs. New bettors often feel most at ease using moneylines because their basic rule follows that of playground sports – the team which wins is good enough! Bankroll limits should always be strictly observed for big favorites with steep odds; point spreads attract fans who relish in-depth handicapping; matching predicted margins to posted lines can be highly satisfying and profitable for fans who keep close tabs. Totals offer opportunities for studying tempo, weather and coaching philosophy. A soccer analyst with two defensive sides on either team should quickly recognize an Under before any crowd would. No matter your approach or preference – smart staking and record keeping should always come before making single picks! Write down reasons, closing odds, and results for every bet made over time – from casual guesses to careful wagers with disciplined betting plans – taking careful notes will reveal strengths and weaknesses over time. Focusing on what works while discarding what doesn’t can transform casual bets into structured planning systems for any sports fanatic.
