Yup agreed, its such a shame he came to UFC so late, he was old when he arrived, if they had signed him 12 years earlier he could have been a champion. Big puncher and fun to watch
Hardest hands and the perkiest set. War Emmet

Fuckin A.Why Ngannou if youre using Emmetts power instead?If Ngannou had Emmett's power-per-size ratio, opponents would actually die
His only KO loss and it was a brutal one for sure.You should listen to him talk about how Jeremy Stephens almost killed him.

Josh deserves the respect of you spelling his last name correctly.Him surviving all those rounds against a ilia topuria on fire.
Also. This is a perfekt fight for fellow strikers to really study ilia topuria striking. Because this fight really showcase his complete striking.

Hes like 42 and been thru hell, im amazes hes still holding up. Other than some muay thai coach, im not sure what areas he can improve significantly at this point. I want him as champEmmett is a very limited fighter, but he is tough as fuck and hits like a truck. That fight was fun. Emmett was landing every leg kick he threw and he should have went back to it but it didn't look like he was very experienced/comfortable with kicking
Emmet was 38, though. Pretty much everyone Ilia has beaten has either been older/somewhat washed or not really a skilled striker. Too bad there hasn't been a prime, 26-year old Aldo in a long time.This fight really highlighted to me how special Illa topuria is. he's a 26 year old FW who just scored a 50-42 score card against a legit top 5 guy like emmet. I knew at this point he'd be a champion sometime soon. emmet has the power to end anything and illa did give him the kind of fight he needs to do it.

Only time in my life I wished for a worse outcome for someone.Emmett is p4p hardest puncher in UFC. When he hits people they don't fucking move. Except when they're seizuring like Bryce
