Josh Emmett echoes calls for title eliminator fight with UFC star Max Holloway: ‘He fought everyone but me’

Josh Emmett calls out Max Holloway following a devastating knockout win over Bryce Mitchell.

Following the first two back-to-back losses of his career, Emmett was in search of a win against Giga Chikadze, but the Georgian had to withdraw from the fight due to injury. Mitchell would take the fight on late notice and pre-fight opinion was split after Emmett’s recent outcomes and that he was now 38.

However, it would take Emmett just under two minutes to land a devastating right hand, knocking out Mitchell with a single shot. Mitchell would remain stiff in unconsciousness before begging to seize.
