Stephens: Oliveira has a weak chin
For his part, Jeremy Stephens is confident and believes he can finish Rafael Oliveria at the TUF 20 Finale, whom he claims has a ‘weak chin’:
At this weekend’s TUF 20 Finale the card will showcase plenty of women’s fights in the new strawweight division, but co-headling the card is an interesting match-up between featherweights Jeremy Stephens and Charles Oliveria. For his part, Stephens is confident and believes he can finish Oliveria, whom he claims has a ‘weak chin’:
“I’m more dangerous and deadly. I feel like I’ve got the skills to pay the bills with this fight,” Stephens said.
“I don’t want to get too overconfident, but I definitely feel like this plays right into my ballpark. This is an MMA fight, not a grappling match, and I feel like I win in all areas. If I touch his chin, he will go to sleep.”
“I see things in his game where I feel like he’s not going to be prepared for something like that. I have the same amount of power in the first as I do the fifth and this is only a three round fight. I’m hungry. I’m chomping at the bit. I’m looking to finish this kid,” Stephens said.
“I feel like his chin’s weak, I feel like he’s mentally weak and I feel like I’ll break him as soon as I start cracking him.”
