Thursday's press conference in Philadelphia ran an hour late, and so did McGregor, but "The Notorious" didn't miss out on all of the fun, delivering quite the speech to the assembled fighters competing on Saturday night. KnuckleMania V Preview: Eddie Alvarez vs. Jeremy Stephens Tops BKFC Tripleheader "Oh Philly! Sorry I'm late, I just don't give a f***," McGregor referenced one of his iconic lines from the UFC 205 press conference in 2016, sharing the stage with Eddie Alvarez and Jeremy Stephens once again ahead of their BKFC main event. "I'm here to summon the gods of fighting to action. Knuckles to knives. On Saturday night, may we all bleed in the honor of Philadelphia's rich fighting history. May we as an organization, the alien of combat sports, rise above the night sky and reign down blows victoriously and prove our worth against any deniers."
McGregor has a history with both headliners Eddie Alvarez and Jeremy Stephens, mocking Stephens at the UFC 205 press conference, McGregor replying "Who the f*** is that guy?" whenever he was unexpectedly interrupted.
The UFC's first-ever simultaneous two-division champion, McGregor accomplished the feat with a flawless second-round knockout of then-champ Alvarez at UFC 205, one of the greatest performances in MMA history.
Former UFC fighter and combat sports veteran Jeremy Stephens headlines this weekend’s BKFC: Knucklemania 5 card against former UFC and Bellator champion Eddie Alvarez.
Given that Alvarez remains one of the most popular fighters in the world and Knucklemania 5 takes place in his home state of Pennsylvania, it’s no surprise that almost every fan in attendance was supporting ‘The Underground King’.
That includes UFC middleweight Joe Pyfer, who used his time on the microphone to brutally roast Stephens; a reminder that ‘Lil Heathen’ spent most of his fighting career at featherweight.
“So, this is just more of a statement – Jeremy Stephens is 29-21, the mother***** has lost in both promotions with a losing record. [He] definitely isn’t the hardest-hitting 145er out there and I can’t wait to see Eddie whoop his a**.
“I’m pretty sure that mother***** can’t spell, his haircut looks like s*** and Iowa ain’t going to do s*** in the football game – good luck to all my Philly boys, and if Lil’ Heathen wants to do something after, he can get his a** whooped by me too.”
Stephen’s haircut isn’t that bad, with fans on social media quick to point out: “I like Joe Pyfer and all, but if you’ve flown to Turkey for a hair transplant, there’s gotta be some unwritten rule about not trash-talking another dude’s haircut.”
