Hometown Hero Jeremy Stephens Promises to ‘Put a Toe Tag’ on Mason Jones at UFC Des Moines

Iowa native Jeremy Stephens is brimming with confidence ahead of his hometown return.

Signing a one-fight deal with the UFC, ‘Lil Heathen’ will square off with Mason Jones when the promotion heads back to the Hawkeye State for the first time in 25 years.

Stephens exited the UFC in 2021 amid a six-fight losing streak, so it should come as no surprise that he goes into his Octagon return as a massive underdog. DraftKings Sportsbook currently has him listed as a +425 underdog, meaning a $100 bet would net you $425, should he pull off the upset.
