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

[Pechan]

Good move, dude is gonna be a puncher's chance away from making 1 milly.

 

[Uber_Noober]

Can’t hate on the guy, he gave RDA a welcoming party to the UFC

 

[Siver!]

The only thing that worries me is what "parted ways" means...

Jeremy Stephens is on a bad losing streak, okay, he's not hopeless, but he's faced a murderer's row of opponents and I'm not sure I want to see him rocking up in Bellator or PFL (or worse, BKFC).

I assumed the UFC were going to give him another fight since Dana has an obvious man crush on JS, and given what's happened with Alvey it wouldn't be totally out of the question, but this whole deal about his contract simply expiring and no agreement being reached? Sounds awful like Stephens thinks he's got a run in him in another org...

Great fights, great memories. nothing but respect for him.

 

[McGeezle]

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

"Dude he's on a 5 fight losing streak"
That's your reply to him addressing the 5 fight losing streak?

Most fighters in the division would be on a 5 fight losing streak to those guys if they could even qualify to fight them. Or an even simpler way of putting it is they'd lose to Stephens

 

[Brom Bones]

According to Uncle Dana, he's a beast.

 

[Elvis.]

That’s a bummer, his fights are always entertaining

 

[Tapioca Cold]

Every Conor crybaby will be posting that meme but all your fights were explosive and fun. Thanks and best of luck out there.

 

[DebtCollectorMMA]

Great news for him. Free from shackles to join Eagle FC

 

[chiefwiggum]

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

he beat the shot out of emmet too. I’ll watch him fight wherever he goes

 

[chiefwiggum]

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

he’s entertaining every fight. That’s what mma is about.

Probably a good call to leave and try your hand at making a million in the PFL. Last years lightweight winner was nothing special

 

[Jarvan]

Wow he was up there for most fights in ufc history

and most losses

 

[RonMachineGunJhun]

Just signed with PFL

 

[Jarvan]

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

losing to every decent fighter means you're not decent enough to hang
you're gonna take a decade tenured fighter and work his way back up from the lowest of ranking? for what?
it's time to go
it was time to go 4 fights ago

 

[Jarvan]

Just signed with PFL

Feel like he's gonna walk the anthony pettis path there

I feel like Stephens can have some success but will ultimately lose to younger more skilled fighters.

 

[DjolexMTL]

Fuck BKFC, send him to Eagle FC

 

[philweed]

I wish him the best. He always brought it.

 

[TheDisturbedOne]

Better then 50% of the shitty roster

right and they let deigo, josh burkman, and sam alvey go on like 12 fight losing streaks
