ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – Jamall Emmers thinks opposites will attract when he clashes with Nate Landwehr on Saturday at UFC on ESPN 54.
Emmers (20-7 MMA, 3-3 UFC) is set to take on one of the featherweight division’s most entertaining fighters in Landwehr (17-5 MMA, 4-3 UFC) in a main-card matchup at Boardwalk Hall (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN+), and he thinks it has the ingredients for fireworks.
“This is a guy that I need on my record,” Emmers told MMA Junkie at Wednesday’s media day. “I need to get this W to further my career. Tough, exciting fighter and a fan favorite. I need one of these guys to push myself forward. This is what I’m here for. To entertain and put on exciting fights. He’s going to be a great dance partner for me to put on an exciting fight. I’m excited about the fight, just like the fans are.”
