As the anticipation builds for their clash at BKFC: KnuckleMania 5, Jeremy Stephens has made his intentions clear with a fiery warning to Eddie Alvarez. Both fighters, known for their exciting styles, bring a wealth of experience and intensity to bare-knuckle boxing, making this one of the most anticipated matchups in the sport.
Eddie Alvarez comes into this bout with a mixed record under the BKFC banner. He had a memorable five-round war against Chad Mendes in April 2023, securing a split-decision victory. However, Alvarez faced a setback later that year when he suffered a TKO loss to Mike Perry. Despite these ups and downs, Alvarez remains determined to prove he still has what it takes.
Meanwhile, Jeremy Stephens has enjoyed a successful run in bare-knuckle boxing, boasting a 2-0 record with wins over Jimmie Rivera and Bobby Taylor. His performances have showcased his power and precision, setting the stage for what he believes will be a dominant outing against Alvarez.
In a recent interview with MMAJunkie, Stephens reflected on their intense faceoff and didn’t mince words about his confidence going into the fight.
“To his face, I didn’t say anything but facts,” Stephens told MMA Junkie. “He got his face caved in. Not lying about that. You look like you haven’t really been training at all. Even if you are, like that day I could’ve beat his ass. Right now he could walk into my back yard and I would f*ck you up. I know I’m going to win.”
Stephens also emphasized his striking abilities, drawing comparisons to Mike Perry’s performance against Alvarez.
“I hit hard. I hit often. My hands are better than Mike Perry’s. Believe me. I have a lot of ferocious skill and intent. I hit very sharply. I’m very psychotically skilled to set that up,” he said.
As fight night approaches, fans are eager to see if Alvarez and Stephens can deliver an electrifying battle or if one will decisively dominate. With both men determined to prove their mettle, the stakes have never been higher in the BKFC ring.
