The pre-infected meeting at UFC Boston between Yair Rodriguez and Jeremy Stephens really offered entertainment.
The first meeting between the two had to be canceled after only fifteen seconds, ending in no contest. This time it was Rodriguez who took home the match via unanimous verdict, after a really exciting event.
After a smooth first round, we got to see a completely crazy second round, where Rodriguez lowered Stephens and was very close to finishing him several times via punch from above. Stephens, however, recovered after much over and over and ended the round strongly with some fine knees.
Stephens then continued strongly in the third round, taking down Rodriguez on the ground and getting a lot of ground and pound. Rodriguez won the verdict on the numbers 29-28, 29-28, 29-28.
Despite the harsh words before the match, the two fighters were sporting directly afterwards when they hugged each other and apparently dug down the battle ax.
