Interview with Jeremy Stephens
I recently had the privilege of interviewing Jeremy “Li’l Heathen” Stephens for FightPastor.com. Jeremy doesn’t do the press circuits very often, and it’s only out of his respect for Pastor Brandon and knowing that everyone at FightPastor.com are huge fans that he talked with us on the record.
The interview is a FightPastor.com exclusive, but here’s a little taste of what you’ll find over there.
FP.com: I’m glad to hear that! Switching gears, you’ve earned “Knockout of the Night” bonuses twice in your fights, and you’ve got serious jiu-jitsu skills as well, with a couple submission victories on your record. Sam Stout has won “Fight of the Night” bonuses four times as well. What kind of a war are fans going to be able to look forward to on the 8th?
Stephens: Expect to see the best Jeremy Stephens you’ve ever seen. My loss to Spencer Fisher was earlier in my career, and the Joe Lauzon fight I took on 12 days’ notice, so I’m looking to get both of those losses back. I’m not looking past Stout at all, he’s a great opponent and always pumped up to fight. He shows great class, he has good energy, and I’m just going to go in there and bang it out with him. I’m always looking for the knockout, and I’m looking forward to it being a great fight, which is why I’m training so hard. I know he’s going to be in great shape, I know he’s going to come on strong on his home turf, so I gotta come on twice as strong!
Stephens fights Sam Stout in the first televised fight on the UFC 113 broadcast. If you’re in the Seattle area and want a safe, clean environment to watch the fight, come see UFC 113 with us. Demico Rogers will be there, fresh off his one minute, twenty-nine second victory at Rumble on the Ridge X: Melee, taking photos and signing autographs with fans. There will be much more in store as well, so come on down.
