PFL star Jeremy Stephens shaves head and beard to make weight for fight

PFL lightweight Jeremy Stephens resorted to shaving his head and beard to make the weight limit for his fight against Myles Price.

Stephens was the last fighter to weigh-in for this Friday’s PFL event in Atlanta. With just 10 minutes left of the weigh-in window, 'Lil Heathen' stepped on the scale with a bald head and shaven beard whilst also using the towel to hit the 156lb mark.

The former UFC veteran has missed weight twice in his professional career, but never at lightweight. He weighed in 4.5lb overweight for a featherweight clash against Calvin Kattar in 2020 and 3.5lb heavy for his knockout win against Dennis Bermudez in 2015.
