Despite fighting some of the world’s best under the UFC banner for well over a decade, Jeremy Stephens feels he hasn’t exactly gotten the respect he deserves from the combat sports world. Stephens, a former UFC featherweight veteran, believes he has the perfect opportunity to change his legacy and fan perspective later this month, as he takes on former UFC and Bellator lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez . The two are set to collide in bareknuckle boxing in the main event of BKFC’s KnuckleMania 5 on Jan. 25 at Wells Fargo Arena in Philadelphia, Penn.
