Josh Emmett

Josh Emmett, fighting out of an Orthodox stance with a professional record of 19-7-0, is a featherweight competitor who has logged significant time in the UFC's 145-pound division. Emmett's fighting style reflects a volume-striking approach tempered by defensive limitations—he averages 3.67 strikes landed per minute with 35% accuracy while absorbing 4.52 strikes per minute and defending 59% of incoming strikes.

His grappling output remains modest, with a takedown average of 1.07 per 15 minutes and 36% accuracy on shot attempts, though his 43% takedown defense indicates vulnerability on the mat. Recent fight outcomes underscore inconsistency: he secured a split-decision victory over Calvin Kattar in June 2022 and a unanimous decision win against Shane Burgos in 2020, but has suffered three consecutive losses—a unanimous decision defeat to Ilia Topuria in June 2023, a submission loss to Youssef Zalal in October 2025, and a first-round knockout loss to Kevin Vallejos in March 2026.

These recent setbacks suggest Emmett faces an uphill climb to regain relevance in a competitive featherweight landscape.
