Conor McGregor took Stephens’ comeback sportingly, after he asked his mother for a picture. We’ll let you read between the lines.
Conor McGregor recalls the moment with Jeremy Stephens
Featherweight contender Jeremy Stephens is on a four-fight losing streak and will look to bounce back against hot-prospect Arnold Allen. Stephens has faced a murderous row of opponents in Jose Aldo, Zabit Magomedsharipov, Yair Rodriguez and Calvin Kattar in his past four bouts.
Conor McGregor has been booked to fight in the Lightweight division against Dustin Poirier in January. The Irishman wants to reclaim his title after Khabib Nurmagomedov announced his retirement at UFC 254.
Dana White remains confident that Khabib might come back for another fight in the UFC. The Russian champion, who was recently crowned as the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world, is 29-0 in his career and 13-0 in the UFC.
Speaking after this weekend’s UFC Fight Night, Dana White said:
If Khabib returns for one last fight and Conor McGregor beats Poirier in January we might get to see the rematch between the two fighters. With the bad blood between the two contingents, that promises to be another great fight.
