UFC's Yair Rodriguez to Jeremy Stephens, I'm Much More Dangerous at Sea Level!
UFC's Yair Rodriguez Hey, Jeremy Stephens ... I'm More Dangerous at Sea Level!!!
Yair Rodriguez SWEARS there will be no eye pokes when he rematches Jeremy Stephens this weekend -- and he even got a brand new manicure to make sure his fingernails don't go rogue and scratch anyone!
Remember, Yair and Jeremy were set to do battle in Mexico back in Sept. -- but the fight was stopped in the first few seconds after Yair accidentally jammed his finger in Jeremy's eye.
The fight was ruled a no-contest and the two agreed to run it back on October 18 at "UFC on ESPN 6" in Boston.
Yair says there are a bunch of major changes this time -- this will be a 3-round fight instead of a 5 rounder ... and the fight will be at sea level in Boston, instead of 8,000 feet elevation, like it was in Mexico.
Rodriguez believes the new parameters will give him a major advantage -- "It's gonna be even easier than last time."
As for their post-fight altercation after the Mexico debacle, Yair says he has no hard feelings ... he just wants to beat up Jeremy and move on with his life.
