Off the back of his impressive win at BKFC Knucklemania V, Jeremy Stephens has claimed the hatred he received from fans of Eddie Alvarez and the hometown crowd in Philadelphia — led to him breaking the former undisputed UFC lightweight champion’s jaw en route to victory.
Stephens, a former perennial featherweight contender under the banner of the UFC, has so far enjoyed a stunning three-fight winning spree since his move to the BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship).
And headlining last weekend’s BKFC Knucklemania V card on enemy soil in Pennslyvania, Jeremy Stephens turned in a hugely impressive victory over home town favorite, Alvarez, eventually forcing a third round corner’s stoppage TKO win over the former UFC and Bellator MMA lightweight kingpin.
