Video: Yair Rodriguez And Jeremy Stephens Altercation At Hotel

Earlier this week Jeremy Stephens revealed that Yair Rodriguez had confronted him in a hotel lobby in Mexico City after their no-contest headliner at UFC Fight Night 159, and now video footage has emerged of the incident, which you can watch below.

In it Rodriguez is seen going up to Stephens, who seems to react angrily to something he says and shoves him away, at which point Rodriguez tells him he’s a “p**sy” and will have to live with the decision not to fight on after an eyepoke 15 seconds into the fight for the rest of his life.

Stephens then calls Rodriguez a homophobic slur and his rival responds in kind.
