Josh Emmett is on the first two-fight skid of his career after falling short against Ilia Topuria in Saturday’s UFC on ABC 5 headliner.

After losing to Yair Rodriguez in an interim title fight in February, Emmett (18-4 MMA, 9-4 UFC) was unable to rebound against Topuria (14-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) in the featherweight bout, suffering a unanimous decision defeat at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla.
