Jeremy Stephens made a little magic of his own in the shadows of the Magic Kingdom.
The resurgent Alliance MMA export emerged as a dark horse title contender in the Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight division, as he knocked out Josh Emmett with second-round punches and elbows in the UFC on Fox 28 headliner on Saturday at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida. Emmett (14-2, 4-2 UFC), who had never before been finished, met his end 95 seconds into Round 2.
Stephens (28-14, 15-13 UFC) was first to hit the deck.
