ORLANDO, Fla. – At first glance, competing in both a main and a co-main event spot only six UFC fights into a UFC career may seem like a quick rise. But for Josh Emmett , it’s been a long time coming. Emmett (13-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) meets Jeremy Stephens (27-14 MMA, 14-13 UFC) this Saturday, at UFC on FOX 28, in what will be his first UFC headliner. It follows a career-changing upset knockout of former title challenger Ricardo Lamas, in a UFC on FOX 26 co-headlining spot that Emmett took on short-notice. As far as filling the night’s prime spot goes, Emmett isn’t entirely out of his element.
