After 25 minutes of back-and-forth action, Josh Emmett was awarded a victory over Calvin Kattar by the narrowest of margins, taking home a razor-thin split-decision win. After having his hand raised, Emmett called for a future shot at the UFC's featherweight title.
Emmett's win came in the headlining bout of Saturday's UFC on ESPN 37 event, which aired on ESPN from Moody Center in Austin, Texas.
As expected, the five-round affair was largely defined by two key factors: Emmett's punching power vs. Kattar's crisp boxing volume. In fact, the entirety of the contest took place on the feet, and of the more than 700 significant strikes thrown between the two, just 10 were kicks or knees, according to UFCStats.
