Felix biederman once said Jeremy Stephens is the kind of dude who would be fighting people behind a dumpster at Burger King if he wasn’t in the UFC and I think that’s a dead in description lol

 

Stephens definitely reminds me of one of those guys who will try fighting you at the bar if you accidentally make eye contact with him. haha. Not self-aware enough to realize he's just insecure and has a fragile ego.

 

Nail on the head.

 

Bellator was ok tonight so far. I think Vadim is gonna retain but hoping for a good fight.

Also read an interview with GSP and he accidentally hit Anthony Mackie with an elbow filming F&WS. Fun read:

One thing I’ve always wondered, after so many years in the Octagon, all that muscle memory, is it hard to pull punches in these fake fights? Are you ever accidentally taking shots, or dishing them out?

Because it’s choreography, it’s not dangerous. It could be dangerous. I have a little story: I was working with Anthony and you know, Anthony and I, we spend a lot of time doing the same choreography. And when you do the choreography, it becomes like a flow. You do things and you expect your partner to move along the same way.

Then at one point, I threw a punch and he ducked, but I was not able to pull the punch on time, and Anthony, he has so much on his plate—he has all the lines to remember, the choreography, plus his suit, it’s huge. And I was not able to pull the punch on time, and I hit the top of his head with my elbow. But let me tell you something about Anthony Mackie: he’s made out of steel. [Laughs.] He’s a really tough guy. When I hit him, my arm went numb, because it touched my nerve. We were joking about it after, I said, “I think you’re the only guy in my life that I’ve hit, and I got more damaged than the person that I hit.” He’s really a superhero.

 

I found it funny that his name was Georges in the show for some reason lol

 

Good fight. Vadim has great cardio. Gonna be kinda funny if the winner of Rumble vs Romero takes the belt from him mid prix.

 

Stephens Klose off. Yikes! What a bummer.

 

If Stephens injured him from the push...lmao cut that mf

 

it actually might’ve been the push lol

 

Confirmed.

 

Stephens needs cut.

 

Dana White tried to bail out fighter before UFC on FX
I don't see them cutting Stephens lol

 

Yeah wow 100% fook that guy.

 

Hopefully White feels different about him now since he watched this one happen and it’s 100 losses later for Stephens.

 

Stephens also makes about 3x more now than he did in 2012. They’re all about cutting people right now too lol

 

Is Askren getting slept tonight?

 

sure hope not

 

guess I'll watch it lol

 

Idk if anyone’s watching the prelims but some good fight so far. Especially this women’s fight.

 

Just as I said that, a fucking POWERBOMB.

 

I’ve never watched a high level heavyweight grappling match. Amazing.

 

Geeeez
