Jeremy Stephens came away with a huge knockout win over Josh Emmett in the UFC on FOX 28 main event, but it wasn’t without controversy. During the flurry of strikes that led to the finish after Stephens (28-14 MMA, 15-13 UFC) dropped Emmett (13-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) with a left hook, “Lil’ Heathen” got away with a few illegal strikes. Most notably there was a knee to a downed opponent called into question, but Stephens also landed at least one elbow to the back of the head. The knee, though, seemed to be the main point of contention on Twitter and from UFC Hall of Famer Uriah Faber , who serves as Emmett’s coach at Team Alpha Male.
