One of the biggest anti climaxes in UFC history. Just 15 seconds into the highly anticipated featherweight scrap between foe’s Yair Rodriguez and Jeremy Stephens the Mexican poked his opponent so badly that the fight was stopped.

The referee gave Stephens five minutes to recover, but that was not enough, and the main event was stopped as the doctor refused to let the American continue fighting.

The fight served as the main event in Mexico City and quite frankly, the crowd was not happy with the fight being stopped after 15 seconds and protested by throwing bottles and trash at the octagon.
