Jeremy Stephens strolled into enemy territory and took out a legend.
The longtime UFC veteran scored a come-from-behind win over Philadelphia icon Eddie Alvarez on Saturday in the main event of BKFC KnuckleMania 5, which took place at a sold-out Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After falling behind on points in the opening two rounds, Stephens dropped Alvarez twice in the third frame with powerful right hands, forcing Alvarez's corner to stop the bout between rounds.
Afterward, a fired-up Stephens egged on the Philadelphia crowd and faced off with an equally fired up Conor McGregor, with the BKFC co-owner calling upon promotion founder Dave Feldman to book the match.
