Charles Barkley had that hunger in that third game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t stop that hunger,\u201d Stephens added. \u201cThat will to win. I don\u2019t think anybody has the will to win more than me. I love this sport. I love fighting. There\u2019s nothing more than winning and getting that win. My will to win is super strong \u2013 my spirit, my soul (are) on fire right now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If Stephens is able to possess that kind of drive on a consistent basis, he may be able to revive his UFC career, but if he loses his next one or two fights, there&#8217;s a decent chance that the promotion will be forced to consider his future.<\/p>\n<p>With that being said Jeremy Stephens has been a loyal member of the roster for well over a decade now, whereas Arnold Allen is also one to watch moving forward as he could quite easily become a title contender in the not so distant future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC featherweight Jeremy Stephens has been forced out of his November 7 fight against Arnold Allen, MMA Junkie reports.
