A featherweight bout between Jeremy Stephens and Estevan Payan has been added to Memorial Day weekend’s UFC 160 event.
UFC officials announced the match-up on Wednesday.
UFC 160 takes play on May 25 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The card is headlined by the rematch between Cain Velasquez and Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva for the UFC heavyweight title.
Stephens (20-9) will be making his featherweight debut. He’s dropped his last three fights as a lightweight and will likely be fighting for his job against Payan.

It's about time. I've been saying for a long time that he needed to drop to FW. He was always a small LW. He'll make for some exciting matches in the FW division, although I don't see him doing any better there than he did in the LW division. Shoulda considered droppin earlier in his career.
