Josh Emmett is ready for a shot at gold.
Emmett earned his fifth consecutive win with a split decision over Calvin Kattar at UFC Austin this past Saturday. The No. 7 ranked featherweight said in his post-fight interview with UFC color commentator Daniel Cormier that he wanted his first-ever championship opportunity in the UFC after the win. That would be against either Alexander Volkanovski or Max Holloway upon the completion of their highly anticipated trilogy at UFC 276 next month.
Whoever it is, Emmett told assembled media during his post-fight press conference he was eager to inject some ’new blood’ into the title picture.
