At UFC on FOX 26, Josh Emmett staked his turf among the featherweight division’s hardest hitters, when he knocked Ricardo Lamas out cold.
But at Saturday night’s UFC on FOX 28, Jeremy Stephens seemed to take Emmett’s presence as a personal affront.
Stephens shook off a first-round knockdown and finished the job in the second, though not without some controversy. A big left hook, some questionable blows, and pair of elbows finished the job. The bout was waved off at the 1:35 mark of the second round at Orlando’s Amway Center.
