The co-main event for the UFC Boston event just witnessed the promotion’s #7 ranked featherweight, Yair Rodriguez, earn himself a unanimous decision win over the #8 ranked Jeremy Stephens in their grudge rematch.
Rodriguez got off to a strong start, using his kicks to keep the punch-focused Stephens out of the pocket. The second round saw Rodriguez land a crippling body kick, causing Stephens to fall to the floor. Yair went nuts, dropping a ton of ground strikes as Stephens was trying to recover. Stephens went on to recover, and found a moment to return some strikes before the bell.
