Eddie Alvarez: The Return of “The Underground King”

Eddie Alvarez (30-8, 2 NC MMA, 1-1 BKFC) brings his decorated combat sports resume back to his hometown of Philadelphia. A former champion in UFC, Bellator, and other organizations, Alvarez joined BKFC in 2023 and immediately made waves with his gritty performance against Chad Mendes. However, a loss to Mike Perry in December has left “The Underground King” hungry to reclaim his dominance.

For Alvarez, this fight holds special significance. It’s his first time headlining in Philly since 2010, and the city’s passionate fans are fueling his determination to put on a show.

“I owe it to my Philly fans to deliver,” Alvarez said in a recent interview. “Madison Square Garden was my shot, but I hated my performance. There’s only one venue more iconic to me than MSG, and that’s Wells Fargo in Philadelphia.”

Alvarez is determined to rewrite his Philadelphia story, saying, “The spirit of Philly fans fuels me. On January 25, I’ll shine brighter than ever.”

Jeremy Stephens: “Lil Heathen’s” Quest for Greatness

Jeremy Stephens (29-21, 1 NC MMA, 2-0 BKFC), known for his ferocious striking and record-setting knockdowns in the UFC, has quickly made his mark in BKFC. Undefeated in bare-knuckle competition, Stephens holds victories over Jimmie Rivera and Bobby Taylor.

Now, “Lil Heathen” faces his toughest test yet: battling Alvarez on his home turf in a 165-pound clash. Despite moving up from his traditional weight of 145 pounds, Stephens isn’t backing down from the challenge.

“There are countless questions about this fight, and I’m here to answer every single one of them,” Stephens said. “Defeating a legend like Alvarez in his hometown, stepping up a weight class, and taking on this massive risk is what defines greatness.”

Stephens is embracing the pressure, declaring, “I’m putting everything on the line—not for approval, but for legacy. I’m here to prove I’m the real deal.”
