Sonnen: Dana White and Ronda Rousey showed up with $150k to bail Stephens out of jail in 2012

Jeremy Stephens has been a cornerstone action fighter for the UFC for well over a decade now. First stepping into the Octagon at UFC 71, in 2007, Stephens has amassed a 15-15 record over his tenure with the promotion—including wins over former champions Rafael dos Anjos, Renan Barao, and Gilbert Melendez. However, the power-punching fighter out of Alliance MMA in San Diego is, perhaps, most notable for a two moments outside the cage than anything else.

The most recent of those, came at UFC 205 press conference, when Stephens answered a question aimed at Conor McGregor, asking who among the fighters on stage with the ‘Notorious’ Irishman, would give him the toughest fight.
