Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returned to network television last weekend with the UFC on FOX 28: “Emmett vs. Stephens” mixed martial arts (MMA) extravaganza, which took place last Sat. night (Feb. 24, 2018) inside Amway Center in Orlando, Florida.
UFC on FOX 28 was headlined by Jeremy Stephens and Josh Emmett, which ended by way of “Lil’ Heathen” knockout. Unfortunately, an errant (and probably illegal) knee marred an otherwise spectacular finish.
Elsewhere on the card, Jessica Andrade positioned herself for another 115-pound title shot by turning away Tecia Torres, while Ilir Latifi damn-near killed Ovince Saint Preux. As for Mike Perry? He felt the “Pain” of losing to Max Griffin.
It was a meaningful night of fights.
