Video: Jeremy Stephens shaves head and beard to make weight for PFL 4

Jeremy Stephens had a close shave at the PFL 4 weigh-ins. Literally.

At the official weigh-ins for Friday’s PFL event in Atlanta, Stephens was the last fighter to step to the scale, arriving with less than 10 minutes remaining in the weigh-in window. Stephens needed a towel to dry his hair before he attempted. He also had to be clean-shaven.

All of the measures paid off as Stephens successfully hit the mark at 156 pounds (including one-pound allowance for a non-title fight) for his scheduled lightweight bout with Myles Price.

Stephens is a former competitor in lightweight, but has not been able to make weight. His previous misses occurred at featherweight, with Stephens coming in at 150. 5 pounds for fight with Calvin Kattar at UFC 249 and 149. 5 pounds for a fight with Dennis Bermudez at UFC 189.
