Experiencing the worst moment of his long journey in MMA, Jeremy Stephens seems to have forgotten his situation in Ultimate and proposed a very unusual challenge. Without winning for six fights, the veteran asked for a fight against Conor McGregor, who suffered a serious injury to the UFC 264. in your account at Twitter, the North American explained his desire.

“I'm here thinking, the real fight to be had is me and Conor. He broke his ankle, someone (Mateusz gamrot) took mine. We both like to fight on our feet. They both have strength and are different. Plus, I like calf kicks and have a wide range of knockouts,” wrote Stephens.
Although Stephens' request comes at a time when Conor needs to get back on track to winning ways, there are other possibilities for Ultimate that could appeal more to fans. It is not yet known when McGregor will be fully recovered from his surgery. However, shortly after the Irishman's injury, in UFC 264, Dana White, did not rule out a 'quadrilogy' with Poirier, who won by technical knockout.
In addition to being able to have a fourth fight against Dustin, the 'Notorious' can be cast against an old acquaintance: Nate diaz. Against the American 'bad boy', the Irishman had two fights in 2016, which were a success with the audience. The challenge between the two is currently tied.
If the situation for McGregor, in the lightweight division, is not the best, Jeremy has the warning signal very much on. The veteran is going through an unprecedented moment in his career, without winning in six appearances. In his last appointment, in UFC Las Vegas 31, the combatant ended up finished by Mateusz gamrot with just over 1m of dispute.
Just thinking… the true fight to make is me and Connor. He broke his ankle, someone dove for my ankle. We both like to fight and keep it standing. Both power both different. Plus I like to calve kick and have wide range of KO's
