Josh Emmett picked up a convincing unanimous-decision victory over Shane Burgos at Saturday’s UFC event in Las Vegas. It’s made even more impressive by what Emmett revealed on Monday.
The bout really did a number on Emmett’s knee. He tweeted a list of the five injuries he suffered, including a complete tear of his ACL.
The crazy thing is Emmett knew he had torn his ACL just 15 seconds into the fight. He said as much during his post-fight interview.
The injury forced Emmett to change his gameplan for the fight, he told ESPN.
