Stephens and Edwards had been scheduled to meet last month at UFC on
FX 5 until ‘Lil Heathen’ was arrested by Minneapolis police on fight day
over an outstanding warrant from his native state of Ohio. Despite the
best efforts of UFC president Dana White to spring him for the fight,
Stephens was held in jail for about a week before being finally
released. He still faces assault charges and will have to return to
Ohio for a future court appearance.
News of the bout was confirmed by Stephens management team Evolution Agents via Twitter (@
