Jeremy Stephens bet on himself in his fight against Eddie Alvarez at BKFC Knucklemania 5 and now he is ready to take.
The veteran of 34 times UFC won one of his most impressive victories to date when he broke the Alvarez jaw in the main event in Philadelphia in January. It turns out that it was in fact the last fight on Stephens’ agreement with the promotion at Pointe nude, which is why he now explores the free agency with all the leverage of the world to earn a salary lucrative.
“I took a huge risk,” Stephens told MMA Fighting. “I said that in past interviews, I did not sign the GFL contract even if it was a big salary. I could have waited until April.
“(BKFC) seated me for a year after Jimmie Rivera, so I am a free agent. I did not sign these contracts because I knew the night I was ready to go out and risk having the big salary. It’s time to be paid. It’s time to take care of my family and not have these stress f * cking that I have. I took my time f * cking. I bet on myself. I treated with the crowd. I sold the place F * Cking.
BKFC actually broke the combat sports attendance record which previously held by the UFC with the Knucklemania 5 card, which presented Stephens to face the hero of the hometown of Philadelphia, Alvarez, in the main event.
Throughout the week, before the event, Stephens treated with a hostile crowd from Philly and he even had other fighters like the veteran of the UFC, Joe Pyfer, speaking to him garbage cans during the press conference before the fight. Stephens obtained his revenge with a stellar performance where he marked two kicks in the third round before Alvarez coaches were fighting to prevent him from absorbing other damage.
The next day, Alvarez revealed that his jaw had been broken at the start of the fight before finally succumbing to the pressure that forced the stop in the third round.
It was a performance performance for Stephens, which is why he is ready to harvest the awards to play spoiler and beat a former UFC champion like Alvarez in one of the biggest events of BKFC to date .
“Now you have to pay me,” said Stephens. “I no longer do any shit for F * Cking (in the middle of the road remuneration). I do not take any salary reductions f * cking. It is a secure bag. I said (the president of BKFC, David Feldman) when I got out of the ring, I hope you realize my true value. I am not only here for the F * Cking check, as I also said to Eddie. I am here to take your neck F * Cking and the opportunity that accompanies it.
“You are talking about a real Motherf * Cker, someone who deserves it. Nobody puts the skin in the game, books of flesh like me. I feel like it’s just my time and I’m happy to have never abandoned along the way.
For all the options probably at his disposal, Stephens admits that he really appreciated the competition in BKFC after spending three fights with the promotion.
Stephens says that he even obtained excuses somewhat from Feldman after the founder of the BKFC apparently admitted his own fault by supporting Alvarez in this fight.
“My own promoters were against me, betting against me,” said Stephens. “David Feldman called me today and we said” We had Eddie, we had the money behind him “. You paid the bad man. Now it’s my time. The ball is in my courtyard. I want a large bag f * cking.
“I have opportunities, maybe go to the UFC to fight Conor McGregor there, BKFC because he is the owner there. I put myself in this moment of F * cking. I risked everything on me. I manifested this. I transformed an illusion into reality. There is no one other hot and f * cking more deserving than (Jeremy Stephens), the killer F * Cking pagan at the moment.
As much as Alvarez was perhaps the name of marquee towards BKFC Knucklemania 5, Stephens attracted all the attention of the event.
This simply adds fuel to the fire on the reasons for which he seeks to increase and better compensation for his next contract, but Stephens promises that he maintains a good relationship with BKFC in the hope that they will end up concluding a new agreement.
“I actually had great conversations with David Feldman,” said Stephens. “He is a man of speech. I would say that my only thing with David Feldman is more communication. That’s it. No more communication. We can certainly match the sides. I hope he knows that I am not only here for checks. I am pretty well paid. I’m not only here for checks. I am here for greater opportunities. I want to do these pay days of a million dollars so that I can rest well. I won that.
“Me and Feldman are cool. We have no contract at the moment. I love working with them. I love BKFC as you can say. I am more primitive. This is my F * CKRA sport. “”
