Jeremy Stephens suffered a nasty eye poke against Yair Rodriguez at UFC Fight Night 159, and fans feared the worst when ‘Lil Heathen’ said he was unable to open his left eye while back in the locker room at Mexico City’s Mexico City Arena.
Stephens revealed that he had suffered a ‘deep scratch’ and ‘deep bruise’ of his left eye but the good news is that the UFC veteran is making a quick and healthy recovery.
Speaking to MMA Fighting’s Damon Martin in a recent interview Stephens, who was bombarded with glasses and bottles of beer as he left the Octagon on Saturday, said his eye is still a ‘little sensitive’ but that his vision has fully recovered.
