Following a “Fight of the Night” performance at UFC on ESPN 11, Josh Emmett will be headed for surgery to repair a severely damaged knee while also facing a mandatory medical suspension handed down from the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
Emmett suffered a complete ACL tear, an MCL sprain with partial tearing, Bakers cyst rupture, focal impact fractur of the femur on the lateral and chondral defect on the tibia laterally matching the impact area after taking a misstep in the opening seconds of his fight against Shane Burgos.
Somehow, Emmett still managed to pull off a unanimous decision win despite essentially fighting on one leg but now he’ll be forced to go under the knife to repair all the damage done.
