Drops decision in hometown Stephens lost to Mason Jones via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa. Impact Now 38 years old and competing in his hometown, Stephens returned to the UFC for the first time since July 2021. He was the biggest underdog on the card at +455, and although he landed his fair share of damaging blows, Jeremy's inability to defend the takedown was his ultimate undoing. He allowed Jones to drag him to the mat on eight separate occasions. It's tough to win a three-round decision that way. It's hard to know what's next for Stephens. He's obviously getting up there in age and there was no talk of him returning to the company prior to the announcement of this fight.
