    Man Emmett is just so underrated, rarely has a boring fight and an absolute dog. Just kinda seems to me that most fans do not really care about him, since he maybe isn´t the most charismatic dude in the division. Still has a solid personality
    Also doesn´t help that he´s facing Topuria, one of the most hyped prospects at the moment

    Josh Emmet NEEDS to stop focusing so much on lifting weights and more on actually fighting. Ya he’s powerful but whenever things get slightly technical or even just not a brawl all fight he gets lit up the entire time looking for the same shot exact shot. He has to beat Josh or it’s obvious he has just been an overhyped brawler. Don’t see him staying around long if he loses to ilia.
