Stephens vs Magomedsharipov UFC 235 live stream

Stephens vs Magomedsharipov UFC 235 live.

Zabit Magomedsharipov has been unbeatable in the Octagon so far, but he could be getting a major step-up in competition next when he takes on veteran Jeremy Stephens.

MMA Fighting confirmed with sources that Magomedsharipov (16-1) and Stephens (28-15) are in talks to face one another in a featherweight bout at UFC 235 on March 2 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, following an initial report by ESPN. 

Stephens is coming off of a busy 2018 in which he recorded back-to-back knockout wins over Doo Ho Choi and Josh Emmett before losing via first-round TKO to former featherweight champion Jose Aldo in July. He has won three of his last four fights and is 15-14 inside the Octagon. When he makes his next walk to the cage, Stephens will join Jim Miller as one of only two fighters with at least 30 UFC appearances.
