UFC Jacksonville: full fight card winner and results
Ilia Topuria crushed Josh Emmett in a dominant striking performance in Saturday’s UFC Jacksonville main event, dispelling any doubts about his rightful place in the top-ten of the featherweight rankings. With scores of 50-44, 50-42, & 49-45 after five amazing rounds, Topuria easily won the contest. At UFC 290, featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski will defend his title against interim champion Yair Rodriguez. Volkanovski has plenty of competition at 145 pounds, with Topuria now leading the way.
Topuria thoroughly outclassed Emmett on the feet for 25 minutes while demonstrating next-level boxing prowess and great composure. Emmett started off swinging and never gave up trying to land one of his left-hand bombs, but Topuria established the range early and was always just out of reach. He was also constantly inside striking distance, allowing him to punish Emmett with counters and combinations.
