Leans on wrestling in victory
Emmers defeated Hyder Amil via unanimous decision (29-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Who in the world could have possibly seen this coming? It's not so much that Emmers (+120) pulled the slight upset, but how it happened. This is a guy that entered with two total takedowns in his previous five fights. Here, against Amil, he landed 7-of-8 for 8:35 worth of control time. It was the ideal game plan against an uber-aggressive striker like Hyder. Emmers is 36 years old, so it's nearly impossible to believe he is adding new tricks at this stage, but displaying even a minimal amount of grappling makes him a far more dangerous threat at 145 pounds.

Destroys Gabriel Miranda
Emmers defeated Gabriel Miranda via TKO (strikes) at 4:06 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Mexico City.
ANALYSIS
Fighting for the first time in almost exactly a year, Emmers came through as a -500 favorite. Jamall has some pop in his hands and decent technical boxing skills, which is typically all you need to get Miranda out of there. He did give up a pair of takedowns early on, but was able to work his way back to his feet and eventually dominate. Set to turn 36 years of age in late-July, Emmers has alternated wins and losses in his past nine fights dating back to March 2020.

Taking on Miranda
Emmers will take on Gabriel Miranda in a featherweight bout at UFC Mexico on March 29, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Emmers will be looking to bounce back after dropping his last fight at the hands of Nate Landwehr in the first round of a bout back in March of 2024. That dropped his UFC record to 3-4. Nearly exactly one year later, he'll look to get back on the winning side of the octagon. His opponent, meanwhile, is also looking to bounce back from a loss, although the younger Miranda fought most recently in September.
