PBP UFC on ABC 5 - Emmett vs. Topuria Official PBP Discussion - Sat 6/23 at 11:30 AM ET

[Substance Abuse]

Emmett took a ton of damage. Good lord is that guy tough. He should have fought smarter to diminish it, however.

 

[Mr Dilkington]

And the winner by split decision...

 

[wh4tttt]

Topuria not wanting to break his hands on emmetts skull after 4 rounds of drum solo'ing.

 

[IneedSometop]

No need for topuria to fight again before a TS imo

 

[Super2]

50-38 emmett

 

[Kryptt]

Rather fun scrap!

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Awesome Fight

 

[SplashB]

How much did you bet?

Didn't bet. Honestly, I just had a feeling about it...but Kudos to Topuria. Great performance and he ate some shots.

 

[BonesWinckleJones]

emmett 1 2 3,jk im a fan tho

 

[Dorkman]

Topuria has very high, maybe even title potential. Guys only 26, not at his prime yet. Lots of room to grow still and still busting up and completely outworking a long time top guy.

 

[BigDramaShow26]

Not enough corner stoppages in MMA. What an unnecessary beating. He got 25k after taxes though I guess.

 

[blaccbeard]

Let Emmett bang!!!

 

[TheMessiah]

Emmett has crazy heart man

 

[SalvadorAllende]

I don’t like that topuria doesn’t have that urge to kill. He could’ve gotten Emmett out of there

What? He threw the kitchen sink in the 4th and even punched himself out a little bit... just to see Emmett starting the 5th like a maniac.

 

[GroundNPouter]

Emmett is taking career altering beating here.

More like quality of life altering beating.

Fighters can do more after their UFC careers more than ever. No need to take this level of damage in a fight. Josh Emmett isn't fighting for a title even if he won this one. His corners did him a disservice.

 

[The-AxeMurderer]

I mean Yair made much lighter work of Emmet than this.

He got rocked pretty hard too.

 

[CatsAndPot]

Emmett now looks exactly like a lord of the rings orc

 

[Blazmo]

USA USA USA

 

[Gohel]

Topuria is absolutely not getting a title shot after the way the fight ended.

 

[Domitian]

Ilia right now gets murdered by Volk and beat up by Max but he's holding gold in 4 or 5 years.

 

[IneedSometop]

Alright topuria cut the promo make the masses want to see fight Volk

 

[Gilday]

Ilia with a little reminder that his ground game is even better than his stand up right there
