Last night, in the main event of BKFC: Knuckklemania 5, Jeremy 'Lil Heathen' Stephens finished former UFC Lightweight Champion Eddie Alvarez in three rounds.
It was a fantastic version of Stephens, which was brutally roasted during the fight week by fans of 'The Underground King' pains aside, revenge must have felt so sweet.

Joe Rogan greeted 'Savage' Jeremy Stephens Na Wild UFC Ko
Jeremy Stephens participated 14 years (2007-2021) among the UFC banner and despite leaving the promotion with a losing record of 15 wins and 18 losses, he is still remembered as one of the most powerful punchers in featherweight history.
In 2018, Stephens recorded the popular competition Doo Ho Choi in a five -round main event at UFC Fight Night: St Louis; Where the American is a moderate underdog for 'the Korean superboy'.
Choi started well, used his length and advanced advantage to land a number of annoying low staircases – to get out of time just in time to prevent Stephens from collapsing with his patented over hand right.
But the momentum of the fight shifted dramatically in the second round, with Stephens landing his own painful low stairs and Choi's head ran back with stiff Jab after stiff Jab – again, the over -hand right avoided him … but only for as long.
“Jeremy throws Hooimakers, who is the f *** wild then Jeremy Stephens?” Joe Rogan asked in an episode of his Jre Fight Companion while he saw the fight unfold.
Just when the round reached halfway, Stephens would unload a thunderous right hand that Choi hit the ground before he followed vicious soil and pound to achieve the interruption gain.
“He is such an amount, I mean, he just loves these firefights and the possibility to test who the more difficult man is … Ooooh he tagged him with the right hand !! Ooooh, that's it, oh my God!
“What a right hand, he is an animal – oh man, that's wonderful. What a fight … f ***** animal, the man is a wild one, such a wild one. F ***, that was great – and he can do that to everyone, he takes [damage] So good and that attitude, that wild attitude. '
And it was not only Joe Rogan who was blown away by Stephens' Ko -victory on Choi, with a large number of UFC -Super stars that came out to celebrate the Ko force of the Lil Heathen.
“Proud of my big brother Jeremy Stephens,” wrote Anthony “Rumble” Johnson, with the former enemy Cub Swanson who called him a “monster”, and Aljamain Sterling noticed that you just “The Lil Heathen cannot count, when He lands, it is just different!
The finish-secured Stephens his eighth (of 10) after being bonuses ninth would arrive only a month later when he finished Josh Emmett on Short-notice within two rounds.
Seven years after that fantastic night in St. Louis, Stephens still finds ways to finish UFC legends; Just stopped Eddie Alvarez in the main event of BKFC: Knuckklemania 5.
After the event, Stephens faced each other with old rival Conor McGregor.
