Jeremy Stephens calls out Conor McGregor in fiery post-win speech at BKFC 65: "Who wouldn't like to beat up their f*****g boss baby?"
Jeremy Stephens extended his bare-knuckle boxing record to 2-0 earlier tonight at BKFC 65. He now has his eyes set on Conor McGregor.
This Friday at the Maverik Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, 'Lil Heathen' scored multiple knockdowns over Bobby Taylor en route to a unanimous decision win.
The former UFC fighter was pumped up during his post-fight interview. When he was asked if he'd like to face 'The Notorious' in the BKFC ring, Stephens had no reservations. In fact, the 38-year-old was enticed by the idea of beating up the promotion's co-owner:
"F**k Conor McGregor. Who wouldn't like to beat up their f*****g boss baby? I'm living the dream."

For context, McGregor is a minority stakeholder in the BKFC. While the exact value of his shares is unknown, ever since announcing the partnership with the promotion at Knuckle Mania IV, the Irishman has been heavily involved in the marketing of the company.
Notably, during the pre-fight press conference for UFC 205 in 2016, which featured numerous fighters, including McGregor and Stephens, the former two-division champion obliterated 'Lil Heathen' on the mic after the latter tried to downplay his knockout prowess.
The Dubliner's infamous retort at Stephens remains one of the most iconic moments in the history of UFC press conferences.
"Who the f**k is that guy? Who the f**k is that?"

Conor McGregor says BKFC fight with Jeremy Stephens will happen "100%"
It looks like Jeremy Stephens will get a chance at retribution against Conor McGregor at BKFC.
Earlier this week, 'The Notorious' teased the idea of taking on 'Lil Heathen' at bare-knuckle boxing while promoting BKFC 65 on Instagram. As the Dubliner sees it, a clash against the former UFC fighter is a definite eventuality. In a cheeky call-out to Stephens, McGregor wrote:
"In our co-main event also we have 'who the f**k is that guy' facing off again against Bobby Taylor. Me and 'who the f**k' is an exciting bare-knuckle fight down the line 100%!"
