Jeremy Stephens Latest Fighter To Join The PFL

Jeremy Stephens

UFC veteran Jeremy Stephens has a new fighting home.

Stephens has signed with the PFL after 15 years competing for the UFC.

“It’s a great organization, the fighters over there, the matchups, the potential,” Stephens said of the PFL during an appearance on The MMA Hour. “They’re gonna pay me a little bit more than the UFC, and I have a chance at a million dollars, which is doable, which I really love. Maybe go in there, win that million dollars, and I like the fact that they fight back to back, month after month. I’m not getting any younger.

“I love to constantly be fighting. I don’t like sitting and waiting for opponents six months down the road. I’d rather fight once every three months.”

Stephens feels there is a potential showdown with Anthony Pettis that makes sense. The two met at UFC 136 with Pettis earning a split decision that night.

The PFL 2022 season will begin in April live on ESPN. The promotion is currently set to begin running PFL Challenger Series events in the coming weeks.
