Jeremy Stephens left the UFC in July 2021 and spent some time in the Professional Fighters League (PFL).
After going 2-7 with one no-contest in the final 10 fights of his professional career, Stephens took his talents to bare-knuckle boxing.
The 38-year-old Stephens won his BKFC debut and is looking to continue his unbeaten record next weekend against Bobby Taylor (6-2) and he expects an emphatic win.
“Body bag, not worried about the opponent, man,” he told TMZ Sports. “Just [going to] put him in a f****** bag. We’re here to f****** hurt him, this is the hurt business. He’s just an opponent, go in there and do my thing.”
There is also someone else on Stephens’ mind: Conor McGregor.
McGregor and Stephens have a brief history stemming from a viral press conference moment that instantly became a meme.
In an exchange, Stephens interrupted McGregor who quickly replied, “Who the f*** is that guy?!”
During his interview, Stephens made it clear that he would be open to settling the score in the BKFC ring.
“Ya never know. Stay tuned,” Stephens said.
McGregor is a part owner of BKFC after purchasing a stake in the promotion earlier this year. He said that he plans to fight bare knuckle in the future, but only time will tell when that will be.
Regardless of who McGregor fights, if he ever actually competes again, it will be must-see TV.
