He is brave, a really tough opponent, we all know that, but I don’t know. As I said before this fight, Jeremy Stephens wasn’t the first name on my mind, because he is behind me in the rankings. “I have to talk to my team before I make any decisions. “I don’t know if this is the fight to make again,” he said. In Rodriguez’ mind, however, he’s clearly unenthused about an immediate rematch. What comes next for both fighters, as is often the case when something out of the norm, is uncertain. He is the only one that has to live with that for the rest of his life.” If he could keep on fighting? He is the only one who knows that. I have to give Jeremy the benefit of the doubt. The fact that this happened makes me sad, but everybody is different. My eye was completely close and whenever they asked me if I could see, I said “yes, I can see”. He didn’t poke my eye, but I couldn’t see. For example, against Frankie Edgar I couldn’t see. That’s the thing that hurts me the most: everybody was putting a lot of time into this and the way it ended, it made me feel kind of – not disappointed, I don’t know if I can say that – but kind of sad. “A lot of people, my family and friends, they put a lot of effort, they put in a lot of time. I decided to push through this training camp, to do something different,” Rodriguez said post fight. As for Rodriguez, he was incensed by the bout’s outcome, and was visibly angry in the Octagon. Stephens was transported to a medical facility, after still being unable to open his eye backstage. Fans in Mexico City pelt Jeremy Stephens with beer and popcorn after fight is called.
