Josh Emmett Describes Feeling Of 'Brutal Knockout’ Win Over Bryce Mitchell - The MMA Hour

[@jptothetree]

We need more guys like Josh Emmett in the sport. Total killers, respectable demeanor, well spoken and honest. There are too many Covington clown-show types running around in this business and it's just an embarrassment to this great sport.

[@kevinbissinger]

only in the UFC ;) Check out the PFL

[@ashervirin9698]

There really isn’t, there’s only once Colby Covington love him or hate him. Most guys are like Josh emett, they just don’t talk a lot so you don’t take stock of then

So happy for Josh. He’s had a few set backs in his career, but he keeps coming back stronger. Nice guy too.

[@Kickpunchstrike]

Met Josh a while back at an open workout, gave me one of his shirts and took a selfie with me. Standup guy, glad he got the W before the holidays.

[@KINGSOP2000]

Coldest Knock out I’ve seen ever honestly. I’m stunned to this day

[@Quiron1985]

I'm so happy for him. Had a couple of losses, so to end the year like this must be such a weight lifted of his shoulders. Glad he's back on track, because I really like the guy.

[@J1283-s1k]

You've got to give it to Emmett. Fought 3 times this year and 2/3 of them contained some nasty damage to Josh where, unlike the Yair fight, the Topuria fight was almost totally one sided. He showed championship heart and determination to finish up the year strong while having risked his spot to fight a lower, hungry contender like Bryce (who deserves a world of respect as well for stepping up on short notice to give Emmett the chance to fight).

[@handsolo1546]

That was a big ko. I was a bit worried Bryce wasn't going to wakeup. I dont remember the last time i saw a guy with that much punching power at 145

[@gsutherland3614]

it was scary, I can't remember a punch KO that gnarly. it was like a K1 head kick

[@jkn2k]

Josh is a true gentleman and scary fighter.... A professional, it's a dangerous sport.

[@Slightly_JD]

Josh knows what it’s like getting brutally knocked out. Jeremy Stephans broke Josh’s orbital bone and and knocked him out

[@javiercalzadillarios280]

So many fans said that Josh was too old to R&R when Topuria beat him, but he is too young to die .( Jethro Tull ) Nothing but respect about this warrior! Regards from Spain 🇪🇸🌹15

[@dustinkilburn]

Dude is always pretty wholesome despite being a demon in the cage. That KO was honestly very scary to watch. Side note: check out "Robert Whitaker Emmett falmer" 😂 👍

[@Fitkid7672]

Yeah watching him seize up was crazy

[@scooter313]

Thank you for not following up with another punch in the moment. Cheers to your win. God bless you.

[@leeh8386]

I gotta admit, that was one of the most satisfying vicarious moments (schadenfreude) I have seen watching over 60+ years of combat sports.

[@OlajuwonDR34M]

Lightin em up in Winnipeg!! Been a fan ever since! So easy to be a fan of Josh's, class act! Look forward to the next one man, congrats on another first round KO!!

[@MMmmmmBobbert]

This man is a class act. Wish more fighters were this stable and respectful. There are so many animals out there. And when you have guys like that it is so good for the sport. Just wish more had the morals this gentleman has. He’s so humble. Reminds me of GSP and Aljamain Sterling. Great individuals!

[@olivergosling3668]

Love it when you see a guy realise he’s got KO power. The Lamas KO was deadly and it sort of opened his eyes to his own ability to put guys out clean.

[@bigbearlifememories]

I wanna see him become Champ let’s go Josh 🤜

[@DarkMagician-105]

😂 I was surprised how far of an underdog the bookies had Josh. Nice return 😊

[@joshmuhl7472]

Love Emmet, just one of them fighters that is such a class act but will take your head off if he’s fighting you

[@wordgifts]

one of the most interesting parts of ufc is seeing the difference between someone's personality in the octagon vs normal life. Khalil Rountree comes to mind too. Some of these guys are filled with such kindness and politeness that can be shut off completey for a fight, then turned back on.

[@8Scorpions]

Great fight, and my focus was on the respect you showed Brice. To anyone arguing he standing over Brice, imagine all the arginine going through that man, and he let it out without another shot before the ref stopped it. KO of the year nominee for sure💯

[@mattv8434]

Great interview, solid guy. Thank you.

[@combatcritique]

KO of the year or what!? 🔥💯

[@cosmo3665]

Has to be….

[@SpyroTek]

Especially as this year hasn’t been great for KOs anyway.

[@timmymannies6888]

They might give it to Diego Ferreira or Islam Makachev if not him

[@ChristoMac]

Big fan of Josh Emmett a legit classy killer! Who btw, changed Bryce Mitchell's career forever, Josh literally put Bryce into twitch mode, every fight takes something from you, but there's no coming back from twitch mode. Same goes for anyone that's been brutally ko'd like this, an example would be Stipe who has yet to return from Francis which was way back in 2021... But, I hope I'm wrong and wish Bryce all the best.

[@edm5929]

Mann it was tough to watch Emmett getting absolutely picked apart by Yair, I hope he really has one last title run in him, especially after this KO of the Year and the deserving attention he’s been getting as of late. The homie Emmett stays reppin hard for Sac Town 👊🏽

[@Viking4real]

I think you mean the fight against Ilia. Because Emmet had some success against Yair, landed good shots, he was submitted though, not picked apart, he was picked apart by Topouria though

[@capcomfan82]

Of all people he knows how bad after shots are Jeremy Stephens almost made him retire from a devastating follow up elbow that was totally unneeded

[@McGaziev]

Bryce was clearly underlevelled for Shimmermist Cave. The Falmer claims another adventurer.

[@Jimminityjabooboo]

Bryce went back to hunter gatherer times and saw a few t rexes before coming back to 2023 with that knockout

[@5GTrevor]

He needs to bang the drum to get Max on the Volk vs. Ilia card

[@Fitkid7672]

Man imagine if Josh had the skill with his power at 45. He’s just not well rounded enough.

[@Renulph]

I wonder if this is the Masvidal knee of his career.

He’s had a couple awesome KOs like that.

[@stevans6942]

It's bad idea to fight guy with full camp on short notice, you can feel great you think you can do it but actually you can't, Bryce is example how bad and dangerous that can be.

[@gregwelsh79]

Or you can be bisping and win the belt on short notice, depends on the fighter and if he stays in shape year rd and it depends on the matchup as well

[@adequatequality]

People were really clowning Josh for his immediate reaction when he KO'd Mitchell but he had no idea a seizure would occur afterwards. You can't blame a guy on a losing streak to celebrate winning the fight in such fashion when he's got his adrenaline pumping.

[@javiervenegas6714]

[@Edmond347]

Helvani is being stupid. The optics of a guy screaming over a fellow fighter knocked out cold and then convulsing are not good. But Emmett’s reaction in the heat of the moment, full of adrenaline is understandable. But Helvani screaming, “Wjat?!!” is quite dumb.

Eh, dude says that it isn't worth celebrating a KO like that, but then compares it to when Ali KO'd Liston and posts it on social media. Dude's a clown, and he would've had a hard time against Giga. Pretty sad that the highlight of his career is KOing a bad striker like Bryce Mitchell on 9 days notice.

Josh Emmett: Steroid user - Almost 40, Crazy weight cuts (walks around 185-190), muscular af (Gyno before every fight) Throws reckless power punches, takes a lot of damage BUT NEVER GETS TIRED -Illia fight: Tony Ferguson vs. Justin Gaethje level damage first 4 rounds. 5th round, throwing endless power punches, crazy scrambles, taking big shots and NEVER GOT TIRED ONCE. -Not an elite athlete. But somehow has the best cardio and power in the UFC?? NAH not buying it.

Why not? Granite chin against the hardest hitting featherweight ever is a solid matchup. Emmett is in the top 6 as well.

[@TheFireStarter1215]

He should probably fight Giga before getting a #1 contender spot again. One short notice fight KO coming off two dominant defeats doesn't warrant a fight with Max. I like Josh, though.

Emett should have followed up with a big hammerfist or ground and pound shots much similar to Dan Henderson style. I never liked or understood the walk off ko's. Just doesn't look the same in MMA unlike boxing where you can't do anything more about it once the opponent gets knocked down...

Its more about safety of their opponent. If he is already unconscious, it’s totally unnecessary. Josh is a real martial artist.
