Jeremy Stephens made a statement at BKFC KnuckleMania 5, securing a dominant victory over
Eddie Alvarez with a third-round stoppage. The fight, held in front of a packed crowd, saw Stephens drop Alvarez twice before his corner called an end to the action. Alvarez, a former
UFC and Bellator champion, tried to rally but couldn't withstand the relentless pressure from
Jeremy Stephens. The win solidifies Stephens' reputation as a dangerous force in the bare-knuckle fighting scene.
However, the post-fight moment stole the spotlight when Stephens came face-to-face with none other than
Conor McGregor. The two reignited their infamous rivalry dating back to UFC 205, where McGregor's legendary "Who the f*ck is that guy?" line became a viral moment. McGregor, now a BKFC co-owner, teased a potential fight with Stephens, adding fuel to the speculation of a crossover bout.
Despite McGregor's excitement, any potential matchup would face hurdles due to his ongoing contract with
UFC, which has previously blocked him from taking boxing bouts outside of the organization. Regardless, the faceoff with Stephens created buzz and raised questions about McGregor's future in combat sports.
Stephens, on the other hand, remains focused on climbing the BKFC ranks and potentially securing a title shot. His dominant performance against Alvarez only reinforces his place as a top contender in the promotion.
