Preview: UFC on ABC 5 ‘Emmett vs. Topuria’ via omgitsfeely UFCJacksonville
when the two had an interim title fight in February. It was clearly a nightmarish matchup for Emmett. Rodriguez’s mix of speed and power allowed him to lay on a ton of damage while making Emmett look absolutely static, even if the Team Alpha Male rep did give it a solid effort before falling victim to a second-round submission.
That essentially makes this fight a bet on Topuria’s durability, assuming Emmett does not start suffering some athletic drop-off at 38 years of age. Emmett is consistently dangerous with his powerful hooks, which makes it a solid bet that Topuria is going to charge into a near-knockout at some point. The lean is that Topuria can survive and connect with multiple accurate shots for each one Emmett lands and eventually win a war of attrition, but it is going to be a particularly difficult path.
