News Jeremy Stephens has parted ways with the UFC after finishing his contract

[Gio]

"Jeremy Stephens is no longer part of the UFC roster, multiple people with knowledge of the situation told MMA Fighting. “Lil’ Heathen” completed his contract this past July and ultimately did not re-sign with the promotion."



"The 16-year veteran, who turns 36 in May, competed as a featherweight and lightweight during his long UFC career, scoring key wins over the likes of Rafael dos Anjos, Gilbert Melendez, Renan Barao, Cole Miller, Darren Elkins and Marcus Davis."

Wow he was up there for most fights in ufc history

 

[HNIC215]

BKFC career incoming

Good, solid UFC career for over a decade. Tough dude with nuclear KO power at FW.

 

[gaffbyknees2]

Undefeated at weigh ins.

Meh. Release makes sense. He was no longer UFC level

 

[TCE]

He hasn't won a fight for 5 or so years. Think he's 0 - 5? 0 - 6?

Makes sense. He's exciting though. He'd be a perfect fit for BKFC.

Been in the UFC since 2007. Has to be one of the longest tenures in UFC history.

Not a bad career. Some big KOs against some big names. Solid gatekeeper.

Shame. I really thought he could have beat Yair if that fight was 5 rounds.

 

[Pierced7681]

Dana is keeping Alvey around so he can break BJ Penn’s most losses in a row record. Nothing more than that.

 

[WHITEBELT JESUS]

FYI, He’s the dude who’s banging your mom.

What? Look who he's lost to. Gamrot, Kattar, Yair, Zabit, Aldo. All elite fighters, no shame in losing to any of them

Bad cut. Should have given him some unranked guys

 

[Kryptt]

Somewhere Drakkar "Too" Klose sighs in relief...

 

[STAY GOLD]

This was my initial thought. Surprised it wasn't the first reply. He was a great fighter that was always in entertaining fights, but this is the moment he will be known for most of his career.

Dude he's on a 5 fight losing streak and he's 35. The cut is fine.

But Eye & Hill remain to stink up the cards.
