Jeremy Stephens’ PFL debut is set.
The longtime UFC veteran will square off with fellow striker Clay Collard in a lightweight season opener at 2022 PFL 1, which takes place April 20 at Esports Arena in Arlington, Texas and streams on ESPN+ and ESPN, promotion officials announced Tuesday.
Stephens (28-19-1) parted ways with the UFC in January after a 14-year stint with the company. Following his loss to Mateusz Gamrot in July, Stephens became a free agent and signed with PFL. Stephens, 35, who holds notable knockouts over the likes of former champion Rafael dos Anjos and featherweight contender Josh Emmett, is winless in his past six fights.
