UFC lightweight Jeremy ‘Lil Heathen’ Stephens (20-8) is still in prison following a court appearance this afternoon in Minnesota.
Stephens was arrested last Friday in advance of his UFC on FX 5 bout with Yves Edwards. ‘Lil Heathen’ faces assault charges from an incident in 2011 in Iowa.
Despite UFC president Dana White’s best efforts to spring Stephens from prison in order for the lightweight to make a paycheck, he was unable to do so and now leaves the fighter in a financial pinch after paying for his training camp, as well as providing for his family.
Stephen’s management company, Evolution Agents, has teamed up with InsanityFightwear.com to produce this t-shirt asking fans to show their support for ‘Lil Heathen’.
The ‘FREE “Lil Heathen” Shirt’ is $20, with funds going to Stephens defense team in order to prove his innocence.
