Jeremy Stephens was unable to continue against Yair Rodriguez at UFC Mexico City, and fans went ballistic. But UFC fighters sounded off, too. You can see several reactions from UFC fighters below.

Ppl saying Stephens wanted out of the fight?? He is one of the toughest and most dangerous guy in that division. I highly doubt he faked how severe that eye-poke affected him. I felt Yair would our point him with kicks, but tn we won’t get to find out...Sucks. #UFCMexico

I hope. Because that would be an odd thing to celebrate for any fighter. I wouldn’t have done it like that. They were crushing Stephens as if he did something wrong. https://t.co/M3kMMJ8oaA
