Due to the controversial nature of the finish, Jeremy Stephens wasn’t able to completely enjoy his victory over Josh Emmett at UFC on Fox 28 without answering some questions.
Stephens defeated Emmett via knockout at the 1:35 mark of the second round in Saturday’s headliner at the Amway Center in Orlando, Fla., punctuating his victory with two vicious elbows on the mat. It’s what led to that moment, however, that has prompted some debate in the aftermath.
Stephens initially floored his opponent with a counter left hook, and he followed Emmett to the ground, where he unloaded a series of elbows.
