Jeremy Stephens was an afterthought in the Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight division less than a year ago. That narrative has changed.
Stephens pushed his run of consecutive victories to three, as he dispatched Team Alpha Male’s Josh Emmett with punches and elbows in the second round of their UFC on Fox 28 main event on Saturday at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida. The end came 1:35 into Round 2, and it was not without controversy.
Emmett fired a shot across the Alliance MMA rep’s bow in the first round, where he deposited “Lil’ Heathen” on the canvas with a counter right hook.
