Ilia Topuria put on the performance of a lifetime, dominating Josh Emmett and making Emmett’s face barely recognizable in a one-sided beatdown Saturday in the main event of UFC on ABC 5 at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida.
Topuria won by scores of 50-42, 50-44 and 49-45 and the outcome was never really in doubt. Yahoo Sports scored it 50-44 for Topuria.
The only thing that marred what is clearly a star-making turn for the 14-0 Topuria was the failure of either Emmett's corner or referee Marc Godard to stop the fight.
