Emil Meek
Career overview
Emil Meek, competing at welterweight with a professional record of 9-5-1 (1 NC), is a switch-stance fighter standing 5'11" with a 74-inch reach. Meek operates as a volume striker with modest output, landing 2.52 strikes per minute at 39% accuracy while absorbing 2.53 per minute and defending at just 38%—metrics reflecting tight, competitive exchanges rather than dominant striking.
His grappling contributions are minimal, averaging 0.25 takedowns per 15 minutes at 33% accuracy with 47% takedown defense, but he presents a legitimate submission threat at 1.0 submission attempt per 15 minutes. Recent results have been challenging: Meek suffered unanimous decision losses to Kamaru Usman (January 2018), Jake Matthews (February 2020), and Bartosz Fabinski (July 2018), with his most recent win coming via unanimous decision over Jordan Mein in December 2016.
His recent four-fight stretch shows one victory against three losses, indicating a decline in competitive performance over the past several years. At 35 years old, Meek remains active but faces an uphill battle to reclaim relevance in a deep welterweight division.
