UFC on Fox 28 Results: Emmett vs Stephens
In the words of Jeremy Stephens: “And now we know who the hardest-hitting 145er is.”
After a closely contested bout which saw Josh Emmett score a knockdown in the first round, a thunderous left hook by Stephens put his opponent to the mat in the second round before a flurry of elbows on the mat switched off the lights for Emmett and ensured that the ‘Lil Heathen’ extended his win streak to three.
Elsewhere, Jessica Andrade reaffirmed her position as the #2 ranked strawweight in the UFC in a brilliant bout with Tecia Torres while Ilir Latifi recorded the biggest win of his career with a first-round demolition of Ovince Saint Preux and Max Griffin scored the upset over Mike Perry.
