Yair Rodriguez has found himself in a bit of hot water after his UFC Mexico fight with Jeremy Stephens ended with an inadvertent eye-poke. The latest member of the MMA community to speak out against Rodriguez’s controversial post-fight actions is UFC analyst Kenny Florian.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t like the fact that Yair Rodriguez was kind of insinuating to the crowd in a lot of ways that maybe Jeremy didn\u2019t wanna continue fighting and all that stuff,” Florian said on the latest episode of the\u00a0Anik & Florian podcast <\/a><\/em>(via MMA News<\/a>). “<\/em>Which kind of incited the crowd, right? I mean these guys wanted to see a fight. I thought that was in poor taste. I don\u2019t know if he was thinking things through all the way. I think he was frustrated by the situation. And I certainly don\u2019t think he did this intentionally either. I don\u2019t think he tried to scratch his eye intentionally either, obviously.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rodriguez has also been criticized for snapping at former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping, who was serving as the color commentator for UFC Mexico. Florian wasn’t impressed by this either.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought that was in poor taste and even cheering after the fact of getting on top of the Octagon. Dude, it was a 15-second fight. You scratched the guy, the fight was over. What are you cheering for? I don\u2019t know. I was kind of confused by it. He showed a lot of emotions out there, went at Bisping at one point. I thought that the whole thing was just kind of weird.\u201d<\/p>\n

What did you think of the way Yair Rodriguez acted after UFC Mexico? Are you with Kenny Florian on this one?<\/p>\n
