Chuck Liddell (-260) vs. Quinton Jackson (+200)

Octagon veteran Din Thomas (19-6) will clash with UFC newcomer Jeremy Stephens (8-1) at UFC 71 on May 26 in Las Vegas, MGM, Nevada.

Since appearing on season four of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) as a welterweight, Thomas has dropped down to 155 pounds and rattled off two consecutive wins.

Din Thomas, most recent victory over Clay Guida at UFC Fight Night 8 in January was an action-packed 15-minute brawl that demonstrated the toughness of the American Top Team (ATT) product.

Jeremy Stephens is a young fighter from the Midwest who likes to bang, racking up six T(KO)s in his brief mixed martial arts career. He’s performed well in smaller shows, and apparently the UFC thinks he’s now ready for the big stage. The match up will most likely not make the pay-per-view (PPV) broadcast.
