Emmett continued to fire back, but the connections didn’t carry as much sting, with “El Matador” remaining in his face, punishing him on the feet. Late in the fourth, Topuria dropped Emmett with a short left hook, trying to chase down a finish. Emmett survived and came out throwing to start the fifth, but Topuria weathered the early attacks, got back on his jab, and cruised to victory.
The 26-year-old claimed a clean sweep of the scorecards, a sixth straight UFC victory, and a 14th consecutive victory overall. He answered every question there was heading into his first main event and Top 10 assignment, and now stands as an intriguing potential title challenger heading into the second half of the year. | Official Scorecards
