Jahreau “The Nightmare” Shepherd (3-2) returns to the cage after settling a long-standing feud with Calvin Reynolds at MTK MMA in April. Shepherd put on a clinical performance that left his rival bloody and battered after two rounds of action. The Pound for Pound product has been working with MMA coach and fighter Jeremy Petley at London Fight Factory. Jahreau recently traveled to Sweden with his teammate Alex Montagnani to train at the All Stars Training Center.
