Jeremy Stephens

Jeremy Stevens had a difficult childhood, but sports became his salvation. The man became famous as a veteran of the UFC, who knows how to fight a fierce battle and defeat opponents with spectacular knockouts.

Jeremy Dean Stevens was born on May 26, 1986 in Des Moines, USA. The early years of the boy's biography were difficult: when he was 8 years old, his parents divorced, and by a court decision, the son stayed with his mother. The woman suffered from drug addiction, because of which the young Jeremy had to spend the night in the car and wander around the homeless shelters. He starved, skipped school, and increasingly spent time in questionable companies.

It wasn't until Stevens was in 5th grade that his father secured custody and took him to Norulok, Iowa. At that time, the man disappeared a lot at work, and his grandparents were involved in raising the boy. It was in their house that the future athlete first began to watch fights, his grandfather showed him videos with UFC stars and brought him to a club where meetings were held between amateur fighters.

Already at the age of 16, the young man first entered into a fight with an opponent who was much larger and older than him. But Jeremy grew up a tough and persistent guy, so he soon began to win and realized that he wanted to start a career in MMA.

The man's personal life was successful: in 2017, he married his beloved Cindy Lopez, with whom he has two daughters.

The fighter speaks of his wife exclusively in a positive way, calls her a kind and good person. He often publishes joint photos with his wife and children on pages on social networks.

The athlete made his professional debut in the winter of 2005, fighting Ted Worthington. The fight ended with Jeremy's victory, which was the impetus for the subsequent continuation of his career in mixed martial arts. According to the man's recollections, then the rivals had an advantage over him, because almost everyone already had a base in the form of practicing various types of wrestling in the past, and he was forced to rely only on natural strength, dexterity, as well as skills gained on the street and amateur competitions.

Nevertheless, the guy managed to correctly use his advantages, the range of hands and other parameters in order to bring 12 victories and only 1 defeat into the statistics in the first years of professional performances. This made an impression on the UFC representatives who invited him to the association.

The first fight, which took place in May 2007 at UFC 71 against Dean Thomas, ended in defeat for Jeremy. After that, the guy performed with varying success, alternating victories over Nick Walker, Rafael dos Anjus and Marcus Davis with losses to Spencer Fischer, Joe Lawson and Donald Cerrone. But he showed dedication and for the sake of meeting with Gilbert Melendez postponed the date of the wedding. Stevens ended this evening as a triumphant.

Later, the man had an equally spectacular fight with Korean Choi Tu Ho (Doo Ho Choi), which ended with a technical knockout, and then came out the winner again after a meeting with Josh Emmett. The chain of luck was cut short after a battle with Jose Aldo, whose blow put Jeremy out of action.

The loss had a bad effect on the emotional state of Stevens, who after a while announced that he was thinking about suicide. During this period, he began to visit the Choice Center, revised his outlook on life, changed his hairstyle and shaved off his beard.

The next fight of the American took place only six months later against the Russian star Zabit Magomedsharipov. It was a fierce struggle between two famous athletes, but still the opponent turned out to be stronger, and by the decision of the judges, Jeremy was declared a loser.

After that, fans were looking forward to a vivid battle between Stevens and Mexican Yair Rodriguez. The American repeatedly insulted the fighter and talked about how easily he would overcome him. Before the meeting, he even trained with another sports star Tony Ferguson and considered himself fully prepared.

15 seconds after the start of the fight, Jeremy suffered an eye injury and was unable to continue the fight. This caused discontent among the fans, who pelted the athlete with garbage. A second battle took place only a month later and ended in defeat for Stevens.

In April 2020, the fighter was scheduled to meet with Calvin Kattar, which had to be postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Despite this, the man continues to train in order to keep fit, as he informs the fans by posting a photo on Instagram. He now weighs 66 kg and is 174 cm tall.
