Ronaldo's MMA career began on March 19, 2017, with a victory over Eddy Perez at the Warrior League 2 event WS2. He won the fight with a first-round technical knockout. He continued competing in regional promotions, accumulating 8 wins and only one loss, of which 5 of those wins were in the Jasaji Fighting League.[1]
He had his first fight in Lux Fight League, where he faced Dagoberto Ferreira on February 14, 2020, at the LUX 008 event. Ronaldo took the victory after several elbows.
On August 4, 2020, he was one of the competitors in the opening week of the fourth season of the Dana White's Contender Series, with Jerome Rivera as his rival. However, he lost the fight via unanimous decision.[2]

After failing to earn his UFC contract and winning a fight at the iFF3 regional event, Rodriguez returned to the Lux Fight League. He faced Cesar Vazquez on May 26, 2022, at LUX 022.[3] He won the fight via unanimous decision.[4]
