Nobody hands you anything at lightweight. Jeremy Stephens — "Lil' Heathen" to fight fans — has built a 29-23 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving the United States's regional scene.
This is power striking with numbers behind it — 19 KO/TKO wins, 3.15 significant strikes landed per minute. Opponents don't get outpointed so much as dismantled.
The last fight went to King Green (Submission (Rear Naked Choke) R1) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
He's 40 now. Fighters at this stage aren't building toward something; they're spending what's left, and that usually makes for the best fights.
