At long last, UFC featherweight contender Josh Emmett is ready to compete again.
The hard-hitting Emmett is set to take on Dan Ige at UFC 269 on December 11th in Las Vegas. BJPenn.com was first to report the news.
Emmett (16-2) is on a three-fight winning streak but has been out of action since his Fight of the Night war with Shane Burgos in June of 2020. While Emmett prevailed on the scorecards, he fought through an ACL tear (among other injuries to his left leg) and obviously had to be sidelined for awhile. Setbacks had Emmett doubting if he’d return in 2021, but it looks like he will.
