Jeremy Stephens was the star of the show in Brazil.

It wasn’t a good night for Rony Jason. The Brazilian was fighting in front of his compatriots at UFC Fight Night 32 over the weekend, and looking to preserve a four-year unbeaten run, but the featherweight’s night would only last 40 seconds. As he tried to throw a right hand at his opponent Jeremy Stephens, he was was instead met with a vicious kick to the side of the head, which knocked him sprawling before receiving another fierce dig before the ref stepped in. Skip to 0.25 for the action. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu5Ka25n_v4 And as if that wasn’t bad enough, in his frustration at such a convincing defeat, it is reported Jason punched a wall after the fight and had to be taken to hospital to have 35 stitches put in to heal that injury. Now that's a bad day at the office/octagon.
