ST. LOUIS – The way UFC welterweight Emil Meek works, he fights better when less is expected of him. When he’s the favorite, his performance suffers. “When fight day comes, and I meet the top guy, I always fight my very best,” Meek (9-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) told MMAjunkie. “If it’s a good guy, I do better than if I fight a bad guy.” Thankfully for him, he’s undoubtedly not the favorite heading into a fight with Kamaru Usman (11-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 124, which takes place Sunday at Scottrade Center in St. Louis and airs live on FS1.
