AUSTIN, Texas – If fight fans are hoping for a fun show in the main event of UFC on ESPN 37, Josh Emmett promises to deliver the goods.
Headlining for the second time in his UFC career, Emmett (17-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) will meet a fellow featherweight who is no stranger to the main event spotlight, Calvin Kattar. While Emmett knows he’s in for a thought fight against a dangerous opponent in Kattar (23-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC), the main event stage won’t add any pressure to perform.
“It’s just another fight,” Emmett told reporters including MMA Junkie at Wednesday’s media day. “I don’t look at it in any other way. I always prepare the same. I’ve been preparing for a five, six-round fight my entire career. So yeah, there could possibly be two more rounds, but it’s no different to me.”
