So uh... that happened.
UFC Mexico was realistically top-heavy, with an overwhelming majority of the attention focused on Yair Rodriguez and Jeremy Stephens. We got treated to 15 seconds, ending with Stephens’ left eye getting poked. Despite Herb Dean’s best efforts to salvage the fight by giving Stephens time, he could not open his eye, and thus we got a no contest. Rodriguez gave us a weird post-fight interview as he had a wave of emotions going through his mind. Hopefully Stephens’ injury is not super serious, as that’s the main concern before we can even talk about him running it back with Yair.
