Jeremy Stephens walked in enemy territory and released a legend.
The longtime veteran of the UFC marked a victory for the victory over the Philadelphia icon, Eddie Alvarez after having taken late points in the first two laps, Stephens dropped Alvarez twice in the third framework with Powerful straight hands, forcing the corner of Alvarez to stop the fight between the towers.
Subsequently, a Stephens made a shot on the crowd of Philadelphia and faced a Conor McGregor also fired, with the co -owner of BKFC calling the founder of the Dave Feldman promotion to reserve the match.
“I have lost so many times in the UFC, like a thousand times, but I have returned to place by 1,003 times, Big Dog. You cannot stop me. It’s resilience, years of Hard work, “Stephens shouted.
“My own promoters were against me. The whole city was against me. McGregor is against me. Mike Perry. Everyone doubted me. Look at me now! Pay me my money!”
Although McGregor against Stephens is a coup d’etat for BKFC, in particular given the story that the two share Stephens time in the UFC, it is also a pipe dream with McGregor always under the contract of UFC.
Stephens now has 3-0 in the Boxing Ring at Pointe Nue since its beginnings in BKFC at the end of 2023 with a victory against another UFC veteran, Jimmie Rivera. He also won a victory over Bobby Taylor last September. During his UFC 14 -year career, Stephens fought in the sixth greatest fights in promotional history (34) and equaled the legend of the UFC Anderson Silva for the second highest ills.
Alvarez, a former UFC champion and Bellator Lightweight, falls to 1-2 in bare boxing, having lost consecutive competitions against Stephens and Mike Perry after having made his debut with a fascinating divided decision on the Triple Title of the UFC Chad Mendes in April 2023.
In the co-principal event of the night, his colleague veteran of the UFC “Big” Ben Rothwell made a thunderous statement, eliminating the heavyweight champion BKFC Mick Terrill with a right hand monster in just 36 seconds.
Now, the heavy king of promotion, Rothwell is a perfect 4-0 under the BKFC umbrella and seems perfectly suited to bare boxing.
“I have been doing this in combat sports for 25 years and I tell you, your energy was in my hand and you helped me win this title,” he told the crowd after the fight.
Also on the map, the original naked boxing, because Rawlings dominated the former BKFC champion, Taylor Starling, to make a large unanimous decision via scores of 50-44, 49-45 and 50-44.
