to be fair Emmett knocked out a higher ranked opponent than Ortega as lamas was higher ranked than Cub and you could make an argument finishing Johnson in the 2nd round is a bigger achievement than finishing Cub.
correct me if i'm wrong but Ortega only has one top 15 opponent.
that's a fair criticism.
Ortega really struggled against Guida I think Stephens could pose some problems and Stephens has a lot more experience, Ortega only has 1 or 2 fights against top 15.
Moicana was top 10 when he beat him (Moicana has just beaten Stephens) and Guida might have been ranked too.
I was talking about Emmets finishing ability. He hasn't had more top 15 guys than Ortega, no?
Yeah touche I forgot about the Moicana win that's one of his best performances aside from the Cub fight.
Yeah that's fair but neither did Darren Till, maybe Emmett is turning a corner in his career.
Ortega is the kind of fighter to get better as the rounds go on. He is usually losing till the third till he pulls out the finish. He is the most prominent 3rd round finisher in the UFC, probably even more dangerous than Yoel in the third.
