UFC Fight Night 159: How to watch Rodriguez v Stephens – TV channel, live stream, UK start time
Yair Rodriguez and Jeremy Stephens step into the Octogon at UFC Fight Night 159 this weekend
Yair Rodriguez will have the full backing of his homeland crowd when he takes on Jeremy Stephens in Mexico this weekend.
Featherweight star Rodriguez has only fought once since May 2017, but last October's bout was well worth the punters' ticket fees in Denver, USA.
He KO'd Chan Sung Jung (a.k.a. the Korean Zombie) with just one second left on the clock in the final round to record the Performance and Fight of the Night honours.
San Diego native Stephens will make the shot trip over the border sitting eighth in the official UFC Featherweight rankings, just one place behind Rodriguez.
He will hope to prevent a two-fight losing streak from escalating after being downed by Jose Aldo, then Zabit Magomedsharipov.
