Stephens: ‘When I knock people out, they don’t move’
Jeremy Stephens: “I have the striking advantage with the power…[Cub Swanson] TKO’s people, but when I knock people out they don’t move, they don’t get up.”
UFC light weight Jeremy Stephens is known as one of the divisions biggest punchers. Stephens recently talked to FOX Sports about his upcoming main event fight with Cub Swanson and just how big is punching power actually is:
I have the striking advantage with the power,” Stephens said. “He TKO’s people, but when I knock people out they don’t move, they don’t get up. Their corners have to carry them back and ask them what the f–k just happened. He TKO’s guys where they’re still rocked and dazed, but they’re still seeing the lights compared to when I do it, the lights just go completely out.
“When I hit people, it’s not a flash knockout where they get back up and I hit them a couple of times and the ref stops it and they’re like ‘oh I wasn’t out’. I hit people where it’s like ‘what happened?’. The coaches have to wake them up. That’s just a difference in power.”
