UFC Mexico City: Rodriguez vs. Stephens - Fights to make
UFC’s trip to Mexico City is probably better left forgotten, all things considered. For the most part, the fights themselves were fine—when it came to judging, however, things got a little wild. And then there was that main event. Fourteen seconds of feeling out, followed by one second of feeling eye poke. Maybe in the past, when UFC cards often felt stacked top to bottom with thrilling fights, that wouldn’t have been a big problem. But, for this event, on this card, the Octagon ended up in a hail of trash from an audience that had showed up to watch Yair Rodriguez fight Jeremy Stephens.
