All respect to Jeremy. I hope he know how proud he's made his mom & family. ❤
Stephens never got to fight for a belt in the UFC, so it's super awesome that fighters like him gain a lot of success much later on. Gotta appreciate all the exciting fights and his trash talk is somehow extremely underrated as well.
LMAO!!! He REFUSES to fight the champion Austin Trout. He's another bullshit Mike Perry that refuses to fight the BKFC champions!
Great to see Jeremy comeback like this. Hope he gets the Conor fight.
Get off his d. It's NEVER gonna happen.
Conor is still under UFC contract so it won't ever happen. They said no to him boxing Logan Paul in India. Jeremy Stephens will probably fight Mike Perry.
I'm sure Dana would love to have his pet fight Jeremy Stephens in BKFC
Jeremey will take them all out . The guy lives to fight no party life no booze makes a big difference. Happy for you been a big fan keep up it blessings brother.
One of my fav Octagon celebration was Jeremy Stephens trying to run through the cage. Guy was born to fight.
That was after he slept rda
What a G Jeramy 🤝💯 bro said he almost gave up but look at him now
Lion heart and a real warrior! Pay this man the money 💰
Too late he signed the contract
Amen
Jeremy smashes Perry...Perry will walk into something 💯
People are complaining that Conor interrupted his post fight speech.
But honestly i think Conor did him a favor and honored him by being a part of it.
How so? Conor can't stand not having the attention on himself, it's pathetic
this is a terrific interview, jeremy knows how to promote, so many ice cold lines and the way he can tap into that genuine emotion and drive 23:00. I came back to watch it again today. jeremy is the man.
When he was talking about fighters who are hungry and those who are starving, made me realize, THIS MF WAS MADE FOR THIS 🗣️🔥🗡️
This interview made me see who Jeremy really is!!!!Im totally on board with this man!!!!Im a life fan now!!!Jeremy go getum
20:24 this comment goes hard and is so so true. Iv been a fan of jeremy stephens for over a decade now. He is always a dog and a vicious fighter. God bless him and his family.
When the tears started rolling, he finally got honest. I know that feeling. It's like having God the Father resting his hand on your back as if to say, "It's okay."
Jeremy is a real one respect ✊
Get some therapy for the traumas in your past Jeremy. You deserve some normalcy in your life
Jeremy Stephens doesn't strike me as the type to try therapy. 😂
@seandavis9320 thanks for input random guy 👍🤣
Therapy goes to Jeremy.
this bro is a wild one
Fighting is his therapy
Never cared about bro and hated ever since Conner shut him down in that press conference, but hearing the story and seeing him win in cheering for him hopes he gets paid
17:18 why ive never stopped being a fan.
Jeremy deserves some big up. Dude's been fighting forever, never got the same success as others, but now he's finally getting some of it.
What he said at 12:54 goes hard asf🔥😭
yeah the visual was pretty cool not gonna lie
This got me so hyped broo, never quit never give up !!
realest shit of all time
Been watching Stephens since he ko'd Rony Jason, happy he's getting his just do.
The biggest problem with BKFC is unfortunately what Jeremy himself said in the post fight presser when he said he had no desire to fight any of their homegrown champs. The only way for them so far to have anyone of relevance is to have former UFC fighters fight other ufc fighters. Not sure how they will ever get past that
They have to throw money at the UFC vets to fight the homegrown guys to help build there star I guess
It will evolve if they keep having big night's and exposure like last weekend .
Breath of fresh air from the over respectful BS in almost every single MMA interview. This is real. This man is a fighter. He won a fist fight in front of millions of viewers. This is how it feels. Incredible interview.
This is great, although Stephens vs Perry is the real money fight🔥
Once you build your name in the ufc finding your niche is huge. Just like Mike Perry, Jeremy can be a star in this sport. Hope one day karate kombat is like that too to give a second life to fun fighters.
Stephens Vs Perry would feed family’s🔥
Yes I totally agree. Like you can make so many great matchups even with guys who are past their prime. As long as they arent Tony Ferguson status then it great for anyone who needs lower competition to thrive
@@Hello-gf2og yup. Lets say he would have stayed in the ufc. He would be on prelims and apex events fighting in front of half filled arenas or empty warehouses for 80/80 plus venum. Instead he got to headline a sold out arena and get all the praise in the world
I think Jeremey Stephen’s is right at home with bare knuckle now. Excited to see many more fights! I like the energy. "I got it once I can get it again" I love that quote and that is the mindset to have. Never give up!
Gods plan is always better than our plan 💯✝
Jeremy has that destroy or be destroyed mentality you have to have when going to war! I like it! Keep doing your thing!
Great interview, powerful stuff with the family photo behind him
like this comment if mcgregor never fights again
Stop looking for attention and stating the obvious
@petereducator Totally agree. Attention seeking mofos. I'm glad you called him out.

Amazing Interview
Great to see Jeremy on top. Appreciate the yrs of entertainment 👊🏻😈🙏
That’s a real respectable man right there
I really got emotional hearing Jeremy talk about his mom,and when the man cried,so did i,but,it was also because he really overcame Philly and man,in dramatic fashion.I am now a huge Jeremy Stevens fan now,and platinum perry of course is my dude also,no diddy
Jeremy Stephens , always knew you were one of the real fighters . You have earned your spot !
GET YOUR BAG "LIL HEATHEN " THE OG FAND LIKE ME LOVE YOU BRO AND ALWAYS WILL💪💪💪 SHOUT OUT FROM BIG BAMA
Great interview… he is a different breed, there’s no doubt!
I am a fan now... wow I never imagine Jeremy had this touching story. I will never judge a book by its cover anymore!
Happy for the man , privide for the family , good job Jeremy
Geremy Steven's.thzt was powerful interviewing 😂🎉
Must respect to Jermey. He is a beast! Keep your head up.
Jeremy Stephens; you are a warrior, a hell of a fighter and a true man. God bless you my friend.
I keep seeing the comment “Stephens is the new Mike Perry” on videos about this fight.....truth is Stephens was a “Mike Perry” before Perry existed / started in the UFC
Jeremey was in UFC for 10+ years, and was a savage from the start. Tough, gritty, mean, heart, and just loved to fight.
Mad respect to this man for everything he went through and got through it’s inspiring
Jeremy Stephens is my favorite fighter❤,love you Jeremy from Azerbaijan🇦🇿♥️Love you so much
Jeremy Stevens you rock my friend...im very very happy for you and your family!!! You earned what you got!!!Your a badass!!!!
Damn. Hats off to this fucking dude. God bless u mate!
Love this guy, Steven’s is the next big thing!!! Watch!
Good for Jeremy. If anyone deserves he does. He’s always been an entertaining fighter!
Genuine. I always saw but never knew the story. New fan
Thank you Jeremy for sharing your story.
I said this on fight night when Eddie made the walk. Eddie had that same look in his face that he had when he was making the walk to fight Conor. Eyes were wide and he didn't want to be there
Great interview.
Loving the victory lap. Incredible raw honesty.
More than 3-1/2 years since Conor has fought now... Its amazing . Im embarrassed for him at this point , as a fellow Irishman I want him to succeed and to fight again , remember his roots try to grow up . He seems to have dodged the bullet after his court loss and is lucky the world hasn't really tried to cancel him . He needs to connect with his family and roots , and grow up a bit hopefully...
Love you Sir ❤
Great guy, great interview
A true knockout artist.
You made me cry Jeremy.......Im a total fan Brother...I feel for you!!!!your a champ!!!Your getting the Conor fight which is huge.....thats the big money you deserve!!
Always loved the way lil heathen always fought, true warrior
Jeremy vs Mike let’s goooo
So happy for this man and his family ✊✊👌👌🙏🙏
I’m here to say I always thought Stephens was an asshole; this is incredibly humanizing and inspiring to see. Good job Jeremy.
We ride with you Jeremy, the way you carry yourself and how you’re not afraid to show the emotions, we got you the heathen, onto next
💪🏾💯🙏🏾
Stephens is a good dude. Very happy for him.
Let’s go Jeremy. Ongrats brother always been one of my favorite fighters just a killer
Jeremy vs Mike Perry next bkfc is the best thing right now outside of the ufc
Dude goes from delivering a vicious diatribe to breaking down in tears...
😢
I’ll be honest I liked Jeremy but now I got to back him in everything he really is a great person
That was a good one.
New found respect outside of the ultimate respect I already had.
Awesome job Jeremy congrats!!
Nice win
Awesome interview .. love this dude
These guys fighting in BKFC deserve top $$$$$.
My man jeremy we proud of you big bro
“To win is to lose and to lose is to win”
I’m gonna forever root for the underdog 💪🏾💯🙏🏾
God bless the little heathen 🙏
A true lone wolf. 🐺 Respect.
Legend
How can you not absolutely root for this dude.
Inspiring stuff
Good shit. Great interview
lol wow I loved this interview
Feldman on stage during pre fight conference literally pointed out Jeremy and said he's going down while Philly crowd cheered.
That was a punk move as a promoter.
Yeah, what a shitshow
The fact that mike perry shines in the promotion tells you how awful the competition must be 😂
Legend 👊
Stephens is a legend. Thats who the fook that guy is a "legend".
That was a great fight!
New respect for him bro wow
Much respect to Jeremy he is very deserving of $$ if I was Dana I’d send him a check immediately after seeing this he earned that $$ along time ago
Heart of a lion, tough as they come, enjoy Little Heathen, your time is now!
Why is no one looking for the Mike perry fight ? Is Perry retired from bkfc ?
Perry is on a meth binge
LFG Jeremy!!!! Savage!!! Love it. Pays this man and put on a show. Conor ain't gonna show. Shit Perry looks low T compared to this version of Lil' Heathen!!
Love this fkn guy legend
Pay this man
Bare knuckle Stephens is a new mythical fighter
