Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight Jeremy Stephens remains behind bars in Minnesota, where he's expected to appear before a judge on Oct. 23, 2012.

Bail was recently set at $100,000.

"Lil' Heathen" was arrested at his hotel last Friday (Oct. 5), just hours before his scheduled fight against Yves Edwards at the UFC on FX 5: "Browne vs. Silva" event from the Target Center in Minneapolis. Stephens was picked up for an outstanding warrant stemming from a 2011 assault charge in Iowa.
