UFC featherweight contender Josh Emmett has been out of action since his knockout loss to Jeremy Stephens back at UFC Orlando in February. Now, the 33-year-old is targeting either a UFC 232 or early January 2019 return.
Emmett (13-2) suffered six fractures and had to have a plate put in his face following his loss to Stephens. He was riding a two-fight winning streak entering his fight against “Lil Heathen”, picking up a unanimous decision win against Felipe Arantes, and a knockout win against UFC veteran Ricardo Lamas.
Speaking to Bloody Elbow, Emmett discussed his eagerness to get back in the octagon and compete, and also what he could have differently in his fight with Stephens.
