Video footage has surfaced of Jeremy Stephens’ backstage confrontation with UFC Fight Night 159 opponent Yair Rodriguez, where ‘Lil Heathen’ is shown pushing ‘El Pantera’ after being confronted by the 26-year-old at a hotel in Mexico City.
The confrontation comes after their underwhelming UFC Fight Night 159 main event at Mexico City Arena, where Rodriguez landed an accidental eye poke on Stephens at 0:15 of the first round, which resulted in the bout being ruled a No Contest (NC).
