Instead, he believes his experience will be too much for the 26-year-old as he will embarrass him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a kid,\u201d Stephens said to <a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.usatoday.com\/2019\/09\/jeremy-stephens-yair-rodrigues-ufc-on-espn-17-brains-on-canvas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MMA Junkie<\/a>. \u201cHe\u2019s a chamaco and I\u2019m a man.

I\u2019m going to slam him on his head and cut him open. He thinks Frankie Edgar swole his eye? Wait until I cut him open.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not only does Jeremy Stephens plan on cutting him open, but he also has bad, violent intentions for Yair Rodriguez.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt took Yair a week and a half to even sign the contract,\u201d Stephens said. \u201cYou know him about them contracts. Boy, he\u2019s always ducked, dodged, dipped, and dipping and dodging again. They told him and I immediately accepted. I wanted to be in the altitude, I wanted to come down here. I know the type of fans and everything they bring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a new journey and experience and I embrace it. I\u2019m enjoying every minute,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I\u2019m relaxed, cool as a cucumber, and I can\u2019t wait to put his brains into the canvas Saturday night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Who do you think will win the fight between Yair Rodriguez and Jeremy Stephens at UFC Mexico City?<\/p>\n<p><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.COM<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 9\/18\/2019.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeremy Stephens will look to get back into the win column when he takes Yair Rodriguez in the main event of UFC Mexico City on Saturday.
