News Josh Emmett(35) is back training from ACL injury

He'll be ready for when Yair returns from suspension so that pairing makes sense while Zabit can get off his high horse and fight Zombie.
 
Good fighter... I like his walkout song...
 
I think Emmett (assuming his knee is 100%) is Volk's toughest matchup

Insanely hard to wrestle and hold in the clinch, and even though his striking isn't nearly as technical as Volk's, he hits a lot harder and is fast as fuck.

I feel like it would be Volk winning via picking with kicks from the outside and making damn sure he doesn't eat any punches and when the championship rounds roll around his gas tank will be in much better shape and he'll start to pick him apart

"Theres nothing like a clear piece of mind, to overcome the hardships in life"

Did a rapping Gracie ghostwrite this? Sorry, had to. We all know this piece would have benefitted as an instrumental lol, the triumphant horns and instruments piqued my interest in a funny way when I first heard him walk out to it but once those lyrics come on, it's all downhill from there, haha.

Let's not push it.
In his prime his ceiling was getting KO'd by stephens.

Cub Swanson would smoke him.

Anyway, your return fight from serious injury in your late 30s probably means you're not getting any title shot soon... Best accomplishment he can hope for now is avenging the Jeremy Stephen loss, who also is fading away after dying in his last 5 fights.

None of the above are challenging anybody for a title. Father time is undefeated.

Emmett is one of those guys that I have an issue with, but I have no idea why. That said, after checking his record, he's definitely legit. 7-2 in the UFC, with victories over several top 10 guys. Him getting a title shot with a decent win wouldn't be the worst thing to happen.
 
Good. His last fight was excellent. I hope he comes back soon and it doesn’t effect him too much
Anybody else think that Burgos fight was just a complete one sided beating. So many people were saying that it was a FOY candidate, but Burgos did nothing put get hit and press forward. It was a good fight, but not Emmett was dominate. Very impressive
