Things did not end well for either Yair Rodriguez or Jeremy Stephens in last night’s (Sat. September 21, 2019) UFC Mexico City headliner.

Rodriguez hit Stephens with an eye poke that immediately stopped the action. Stephens was unable to re-open his eye the rest of the way through. As a result, the action was stopped, and the fight was declared a No Contest. Rodriguez was extremely upset by the development, as he was making his long-awaited return in front of his native Mexican crowd, which only lasted 15 seconds.

UFC Hall Of Famer and commentator Michael Bisping tried to console Rodriguez inside the Octagon, but, without realizing who it was who was grabbing his arm, Rodriguez briefly snapped at Bisping. Check it out here:

Prior to speaking with Bisping for his post-fight interview, Rodriguez apologized to the Hall Of Famer and all was well. Now, it appears Rodriguez believes Stephens might have been milking the eye injury, sparking a heated reaction from “Lil Heathen.” Now, it will be interesting to see if the UFC decides to run things back between Rodriguez and Stephens at an upcoming card.

What do you think about Rodriguez snaping at Bisping after how things unfolded last night?

The main event of UFC Mexico City did not got as planned for any parties involved. The fight lasted just 15-seconds as Yair Rodriguez poked Jeremy Stephens and his eye would not open and the fight was called off. A no-contest just like that.

Following the fight on the ESPN+ post-fight show, Rodriguez wondered if Stephens was lying about the eye injury. But, he knows, ‘Lil Heathen’ will be the one to deal with it.

“My family came here, all my friends came here, and you always have to give the benefit of the doubt to your opponent,” Rodriguez said. “You don’t know how he’s feeling. But he’s the only one who is going to have to live with that in his mind for the rest of his life, if it was a lie.”

Jeremy Stephens caught wind of that and had a simple message for Rodriguez and says he is not faking it. Rather, he wants them to have a rematch.

“Yair, you think I’m faking it, brother. You’re the one that poked me in the eye,” Stephens said to ESPN reporter Karyn Bryant (h/t MMA Junkie). “Let’s run it back, four or five weeks, two weeks, whatever. I’ll be ready. Just a deep scratch or a deep bruise. You’re the one who poked me. Let’s run it back, mother(expletive). Let’s go.”

Whether or not the UFC is interested in booking an immediate rematch between the two. But, it does make sense for them to do so.

Do you think the UFC should run back Yair Rodriguez vs. Jeremy Stephens after the no-contest?
