Josh Emmett Wins Barn-Burner Against Shane Burgos
5 years agoThis co-main event delivered as expected on Saturday at UFC Fight Night. You could tell Josh Emmett was at a size disadvantage right off the bat, but that did not discourage him from throwing that heavy right hand. Eating the strikes well, Shane Burgos kept firing away with leg kicks, which may have caused an injury to Emmett's leg that he had to battle throughout the matchup. Headed into the third round, Emmett floored Burgos with a shot. Though Burgos was able to recover, any drop late in a close contest is detrimental. Emmett repeated the feat and followed up with a few strikes before Burgos regained his composure. With his third win in a row, Emmett is quickly earning the reputation as the hardest hitting featherweight in MMA. But his injury is one to keep an eye on.
