Yair Rodriguez, Jeremy Stephens Trade Insults, Homophobic Slurs in Hotel Confrontation Video

It didn’t take long for video of the altercation between Yair Rodriguez and Jeremy Stephens to surface.

Footage of the reported hotel confrontation was released by Spanish-language website Indiscutido on Tuesday, and it seems to support the recent accounts of both fighters. The video is shot from behind Rodriguez as he approaches Stephens while asking, “Are you OK?” Much of the conversation from there is inaudible until Rodriguez says, “What happened?,” which prompts Stephens to shove his UFC Fight Night 159 opponent.

Rodriguez and Stephens are quickly separated, but the two fighters continue to shout at each other.
