‘I have zero tolerance for that type of behavior’ - Stephens says he wouldn’t fight Klose again

If anyone needed a sign that Jeremy Stephens wasn’t feeling any contrition for the weigh-ins shove that left Drakkar Klose with a neck sprain and concussion symptoms - causing the cancellation of their UFC Fight Night: Gastelum vs. Whittaker booking - look no further than this week’s presser, where ‘Lil’ Heathen’ sat down to talk with MMA media about his upcoming bout against Mateusz Gamrot.

Along with fielding questions about his new fight booking, Stephens was also asked about his altercation with Klose—and whether he felt that the resulting bad blood between them might make for a more heavily anticipated fight in the future.
