UFC featherweight Jeremy Stephens can continue with his MMA career after making a plea bargain on charges of felony assault and burglary. Today in a Polk County (Iowa) courtroom, Stephens plead guilty to lesser charges of fourth degree criminal mischief and disorderly conduct, according to the county’s assistant district attorney. He was given a sentence of 15 days in jail, which already had been served, in addition to a $315 fine. Stephens also agreed to pay restitution to the victims of the assault, whom he is forbidden from contacting for five years, Assistant Polk Country Attorney Celene Gogerty told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). Police said the fighter, whose name is “Lil Heathen,” participated in the October 2011 assault of a man and his girlfriend outside a club in his native Des Moines.
