thank you [Music] Shane Burgos Es as a minus 165 betting favorite tonight Josh Emmett on the comeback at plus 35. sorry this goal might have had his upon us Virgos pressing forward in white Emmett is in Black how about Emmett’s excuse me burgos’s frame for this 145 pound division yeah one of the big advantages that he has is that he has a five inch reach advantage you know because Josh as we know he’s got you know he hits hard how about the champ volcanovsky chiming in he’s got his eye on all the contenders including Emmett and Burgos Emma just reached down for that level huge right hand that was heavy we’ll keep an eye on that left knee of Josh Emmett oh again he is swinging nothing and you got to watch out for that because he is quick that’s the thing about Emmett is you underrate his speed you can’t you can’t always catch his speed it’s not just the power so it looked like maybe a hyper extension of some kind on the knee but Emmett has since thrown that leg which is encouraging oh that’s a tight left hook right hand caught him with that right again Burgos keeps going forward just like he said yeah he said he’s gonna do that he said listen it’s a fight I know he hits hard I’m gonna I’m not gonna run away from it which you gotta respect but when you keep getting caught like that you gotta mix things up you gotta make a little bit of a change he’s doing the right stuff keeping the pressure but I mean the way Emmett is following up with his Hook off his right hand that could land any second yeah he’s swinging it every time and Shane’s always in range you see that when Shane just throws out that left hand because of the five inch reach advantage Emmett can’t get close to him so he’s gonna use that more for my money yeah that jab’s a big deal the way he’s throwing it Burgos needs to keep firing it I found the target again and that’s landed several of those bombs just over three minutes to go here round one man these guys are throwing hard they’re throwing technically Virgo’s doing a good job seeing what’s coming on me you see he lands that jab and when the big punch is land he does turn his head with it which keeps some of the power from Landing but as you can see he’s very confident with the way that he lands his jab and his knees and he’s finding his spots where he’s Landing too nice jab from Josh Emmett who is excited to compete in front of UFC president Dana White tonight for the first time that right hand is serious I mean the speed that his punches come at just looks different Emmett that’s what Shane’s gonna do he’s going to start mixing it up hey he can’t afford to take many more of them if he continues to get hit like that at some point he’s gonna go down Virgo’s got quite a chin though you can’t deny that oh there’s no denying only man to beat Burgos or finish him Calvin kator back in 2018. oh those calf kicks are hurting that one hurt him three in a row nice one two man did he split the guard with that too as advertised through three plus minutes something to be said about the way Burgos just stays right there forehead to forehead almost he’s willing to dodge his shots but also eat them and then just keep punching you right after you hit him that is exhausting after a while huh and they say exactly what you want to see in a fight right you know what I mean showing a lot of Courage a lot of skill standing in the pocket not avoiding any potential damage relying on his reflexes to get out the way to slip the shot and then counter back I mean it’s great work on both sides but I’ll say it again you can’t eat too many of those right hands he’s doing a good job just always returning yeah after Emmett touches him when Emmett touches him oh beautiful body shot that one got his attention oh nice Jabs yeah and it loads up on the right hand and then a triple jab from her ghost is just so cool you know what I mean it gets absolutely cracked and doesn’t even react it’s pretty impressive because not a lot of people has eaten these type of shots from Emma it kept going forward this way it’s impressive it’s crazy everybody is stack guys better be focused tonight counting these numbers big shot and that inside leg kick is adding up you’re seeing Emmett’s leg get real red sure the legs marks up big time it will slow him down man good shots on both sides these guys are trading it’s ridiculous [Music] that one hurt nice one another one right at the nose of Emmett see that’s what he’s gonna do that five inches and that’s why he went for the takedown he didn’t like that snapping jab right on the end of the nose they sting a former Menlo College wrestler going for a takedown Lane what a fight [Applause] so here’s what happened to Josh Emmett’s left knee in the first minute of the fight came up gingerly mentioned it to his Corner after round one and are you ready they said to him we are aware we’ll see if it impacts him here moving forward round two is upon us and both of these guys knew what they were in for tonight in terms of what type of strength and power would be coming back yeah Emmett not moving too well or so it appears look at that job that knee is compromised completely and he’s checking well but it is compromised and Virgo spots it too and it looks like Burgos may have opened up a cut courtesy of that recent Jab you know Burgos was telling us on Thursday he was excited to fight for Dana White and it looked like he was having a little conversation with him at the end of the first round I’ll say it again cool as a cucumber you wouldn’t think he was just in this massive firefight because he was just leaning on the walls wow how about the toughness of Emmett too the knee’s going out and he’s still firing with everything he’s got down the middle yeah both these guys proud to filter out the sound of all of these seminal blows another right lands clean one at a time for Emmett but man are they heavy and I think Burgos is just eating them willing to eat that one at a time a combination might serve Emmett right now job athletically by Burgos to raise the guard for that counter attempt that late job of Virgo’s though so fast he’s beautiful [Music] nice inside kick beautiful he fires it just at the right time whenever you see him fire that right hand and if you take out the inside leg of Emmett it takes away some of that power from that right hand that he’s throwing and that’s what you’re seeing Burgos attack for well he’s definitely working on taking it out that’s for sure because he’s finding it time and time again on the flip side Emma is finding that chin with that right hand time and time again and there goes the mouthpiece breakfast halfway that’s it better turn around here you saw Burgos throw that front kick about a minute ago he said that’s something they’ve been working on he feels like his left leg might be the one that produces the finish tonight oh wow and that right-handed Burgos he doesn’t Telegraph at all it just fires very quick and very hard oh nice job by Emma to get inside right now just slow down the volume just a little bit [Music] slipped and then he slips that jab so well and then goes to the body that’s one of his best combos and burgers hit Lyman good who bowed to below Muhammad earlier tonight all right here the numbers round two significant strikes pretty big Advantage for Shane Burgos he’s throwing a little bit more combinations and Emmett’s prop might be landing some of the significant ones but it’s hard to tell because they’re just both Landing so much yeah they’re both Landing a lot they’re both landing hard and they’re both taking them well as well neither man has taken a back step pretty much you know they have yeah they may be doing strategically but not because they’re taking a shot on like reeling back agreed right it’s wild yeah it is I agree and if you’re a winning fighter in the back sitting on maybe a bonus you’re watching this thinking does it have to be this exciting yeah exactly it’s so annoying you’re like I had it I had the bonus until this fight these guys are throwing down and if you’re a vulcanovsky you’re definitely watching this fight very closely because both of these men are worthy contenders [Music] it’ll be interesting to hear from Emmett about that knee after the fact but doesn’t appear to be too affected by it I love the face that Shane is using he just you know makes a little shitty with the shoulders it makes Josh thinks he’s gonna throw and then he throws that was a big right a moment ago and you see both guys Landing back elbow land what the heck oh my goodness the shots that these guys are eating does no justice to see on TV live Virgos not fearing the power power this fight is awesome oh big high kick returned with the right hand what a fight let’s take a look at some of the creativity seize the Target and just throws it doesn’t care what it is if it’s gonna be a back fist it’s gonna be a backfest third and final round yeah this is an absolute classic forever this could be one of the best fights in this division it’s insane it’s amazing Virgos goes back to that front kick that’s really nice word by Josh that’s what he’s got to do he’s going to push Shane on the back foot and then let go with three four punch combinations the wall switch is a nice right hand he switch stands for just a minute and it poked right through well that’s what he did against uh mercedick it was the job that put him down this is huge for Josh that makes a huge difference in this fight [Music] shamesbury crafty off his back he got dropped off care halibut and then as he went down he smiled and then hit an armbar you know so the guy he knows what he’s doing down here he’s got to be careful though because he can’t waste too much time this is exactly this is a tough fight it’s too close to spend too much time on your back there he is right up nicely done and Emmett’s got a tremendous highlight reel but he’s also had a pension for the rally rally to knock out Michael Johnson who knows what the scorecard say tonight but Emmett strong here early third Mike I like how Emmett’s going to the body more now it’s almost like he’s a he knows that Burgos can eat his shot to the head so starts ripping the bodies going to the liver a little bit more in it nice job [Music] ouch so while we await Josh Emmett to get back in there some highlights from what we’ve seen thus far guys might be sore tomorrow Mike I’m not sure yeah I have a funny feeling they’re gonna feel this there’ll be a few bumps and bruises for sure incredible fight instant classic right here please it is starting to wonder if they feel anything yeah they’re not reacting all right so we’ll see if that brief respite helps the output down the stretch just over three minutes now to go beautiful inside leg kick for Emmett oh Fine Again but look at Shane he doesn’t take it back with step he just counted straight away and it drops down able to land partially with that right hand foreign [Music] the left and caught him by surprise and that’s the thing about Emmett you can’t just ignore his power and just try to eat it you’ve got to be smart about your your Forward Motion yeah well he’s eating a few elbows here as well he’s got to be careful well his boxing coach Joey Rodriguez deserves a lot of credit but Emma told us on Thursday a lot of this Powers natural front kick by Shane Burgos and in a close fight who knows how the judges will score this third round huge huge moment for Emmett just moments ago [Music] Shane’s looking good though that was a nice combination he’s got his faculties about him he’s recovered from that drop look at the numbers in round three all Josh Emmett 41 to 18. wow yeah Emmett has been on in this fight nice job sniff Jabs from Shane Burgos pick and fight right now on the live line or at least during that uh groin shot break oh nice uppercut by Burgos there good read yeah Josh has definitely stolen this round if Shane’s gonna win he’s gonna really turn the pressure on for this final minute I think he’s got to take him out yeah there’s a good possibility it’s very very close but right now I say Emmett’s definitely got the third first two I’m not sure oh my goodness no way Virgo somehow stays upright it’s incredible I mean these power shots have failed Elite featherweight so many people one shot they go to sleep he’s taken four or five of Emmett’s best shots final 20 seconds [Music] this fight has had so much hype so much attention this week and most of you now see exactly why I mean incredible fight these guys oh so much respect the standing ovation from Dana White and can you imagine could you imagine if there was a crowd in this building how they would have responded to that 15-minute Affair Shane Burgos and Josh Emmett mercifully in some respects Go the Distance well I’ll speak on behalf of every potential twenty thousand that was there they would all be on their feet because that was incredible from both men from start to finish Zach Dom we take a look back at round three and right here we see Burgos throws a jab and a overhand left basically he switched South Pole for just a second fires that left and right here here it is again boom on the money floors Burgos that’s the second time Burgos ate that and he’s smiling as he goes down look at this uppercut land from Burgos and so many big shots from him as well but the biggest shots of the fight were definitely from Emmett putting Burgos down for just a moment right there there’s one Burgos just keeps going forward says it’s all right let’s keep going man these guys let it hang how he stayed on his feet all right so Shane Burgos and Josh Emmett turn in just a crazy fight Burgos coming over the broadcast Booth he believes he had it 2-1 but you just don’t know right again we are in an era where judges are encouraged to be more liberal with those 10-8s if you go and read the language you don’t have to largely dominate around to get a 10-8 what do you think about that third round yeah I’m not sure in boxing if you hit the canvas it’s an automatic 10-8 it makes martial arts not so much but let’s take a listen all right now it is time for the fight decision with the scorecards Bruce Buffer ladies and gentlemen after three rounds we go to the judges scorecards for decision the judges score the contest 29-28 29-28 and 29-27 for the winner by unanimous decision
