Ahead of his surprising return to the Octagon, Jeremy Stephens remains confident of finally settling his long-standing grudge with Conor McGregor, following his lightweight return against Mason Jones at UFC Des Moines in May.
Stephens, a former perennial featherweight contender, is set to make a shocking return to action in May — taking on former two-weight Cage Warriors champion, Jones over the course of three rounds at the lightweight limit in his native Iowa.
The outing will come as Stephens’ first in the promotion since dropping a kimura submission loss to Mateusz Gamrot back in 2021 at the Apex facility.
