UFC 295 video: Jamall Emmers starches Dennis Buzukja in 49 seconds to open card

NEW YORK – Jamall Emmers wasted no time getting the UFC’s 30th anniversary event off to a hot start at Madison Square Garden.

Emmers (20-7 MMA, 3-3 UFC) needed just 49 seconds to flatten Dennis Buzukja (11-4 MMA, 0-2 UFC) with a vicious straight right hand and ground-and-pound to get the TKO stoppage at UFC 295. The bout was at a catchweight after Emmers missed the featherweight limit Friday.

Emmers made up for it with the performance, however, and managed to bring his octagon record back to .500.

Check out the replay of the finish below (via X):

“I had a lot of setbacks,” Emmers said while trying to contain his emotions during his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan. “F*ck.”

The result marked the first stoppage loss of Buzukja’s career. Emmers, meanwhile, continued his up-and-down run in recent years, alternating wins and losses over his past seven fights.
