Jeremy Stephens Slams 'Cocaine Conor' McGregor: 'He’s F--d Up Now'

Jeremy Stephens has reignited his feud with Conor McGregor, taking aim at the Irish fighter’s controversial behavior and lifestyle. Following his victory over Eddie Alvarez at BKFC KnuckleMania 5, Stephens addressed McGregor during a post-fight press conference, referring to him as “Cocaine Conor” and criticizing his recent actions.

Jeremy Stephens Slams ‘Cocaine Conor’

The two fighters have a history of verbal clashes dating back to a 2016 UFC press conference where McGregor famously dismissed Jeremy Stephens with the line, “Who the f— is that guy?” Their rivalry resurfaced recently when McGregor, a part-owner of BKFC, entered the ring after Stephens’ win and challenged him to a bare-knuckle fight. The staredown between them has fueled speculation about a potential future matchup under the BKFC banner.

In a recent interview with MMA legend Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, Jeremy Stephens discussed Conor McGregor and said:

“I don’t have to do cocaine and go cut promos, old cocaine Conor, my promoter, buttcheeks Mcgregor. Coked out of his f–g mind. Everybody laughs about it but I’m the only one saying it… That dude used to inspire me, he used to have good values, dude he created the game I’m living in. He’s f–d up [now].”

Stephens expressed confidence in his ability to defeat McGregor in bare-knuckle competition, stating, “I’ll make him quit… I’ve got power, I’ve got calf kicks. But when it comes to bare-knuckle, bro, no one is beating me”

McGregor’s public image has been marred by legal troubles and allegations of drug use in recent years. He has admitted to using cocaine on multiple occasions, including during incidents tied to civil lawsuits and sexual assault allegations. Despite these controversies, McGregor remains a polarizing figure in combat sports.

While a fight between Stephens and McGregor would draw significant attention, it remains uncertain if or when it could happen due to contractual obligations and ongoing legal issues surrounding Conor McGregor.

'Looked Like a Good Old Friday Night': Dricus du Plessis Brushes Off Dana White's Call to Press Charges on Sean Strickland

Sean Strickland and Dricus du Plessis were involved in a chaotic brawl in the audience during a UFC event last year. The altercation, which saw Strickland leap over seats to attack Du Plessis, has drawn widespread attention. First, they met in the audience, then a fight for the middleweight title, now at UFC 312, they are meeting once again.

The incident unfolded when Strickland, seated two rows ahead of Dricus du Plessis, turned to mock his rival before physically attacking him. The melee was quickly broken up by security and police, but not before it left onlookers stunned. UFC President Dana White later admitted responsibility for seating the fighters too close to each other, calling it a “mistake” and stating, “This is the fight business; things like this happen.”

In a recent interview, Du Plessis revealed that both Dana White and UFC Chief Business Officer Hunter Campbell approached him after the incident, urging him to press charges against Strickland. However, the South African fighter dismissed the suggestion. Speaking on the OverDog podcast, he explained:

“Dana and Hunter actually came to where we were seated, and there was police and security around us and they were like ‘that was assault, 100% you have the right to press charges now against Sean Strickland’. Me being from South Africa I was like ‘what? come on’. That looked like a good old Friday night [to me].”

The brawl has added fuel to an already fiery rivalry between the two fighters. Strickland has been vocal about his disdain for Du Plessis, while Du Plessis has criticized Strickland’s emotional instability. Both fighters have promised an all-out war when they step into the Octagon at UFC 312 in Sydney.
