Jeremy Stephens Expresses Interest In Justin Gaethje Fight
Jeremy Stephens expresses interest in a clash with Justin Gaethje under the UFC banner.
He did so when he commented on a post shared on UFC’s Instagram account asking who the former WSOF champion should fight next. This was when Stephens threw his name in the mix for a lightweight jump up to fight the contender, which you can see here:
The MMA veteran suffered a unanimous decision loss to Zabit Magomedsharipov at the UFC 235 pay-per-view event. This show went down on Saturday, March 2, 2019, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
As a result, Stephens has lost two straight after going on a three-fight winning streak. Prior to UFC 235, he dropped a first-round TKO loss to former UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo back in July.
This comes after scoring some of the biggest wins in his pro MMA career. He decisioned Gilbert Melendez at UFC 215 then finished Doo Ho Choi in January 2018 and Josh Emmett the following month. Now, he’s in search of his first victory in over a year.
Stephens had been campaigning for a fight on the UFC 238 card. This show goes down on June 8, 2019, at United Center in Chicago, Illinois. It’s possible that this is where the fight could take place. Time will tell whether that happens or not.
