Both Kattar and Emmett had moments landing significant strikes, however it was Emmett who delivered the more telling blows.

Main event lives up to expectations. What a fight. I've got it 48-47 Calvin Kattar, but we'll see. Very close.

— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) June 19, 2022

Great fight. I'm going to *guess* Kattar took it, but it's ultra close.

Josh Emmett earns the split decision victory over Calvin Kattar.

Not how I scored it, but the first three rounds were so close.

— Aaron Bronsteter (@aaronbronsteter) June 19, 2022

Judge Chris Lee, who scored the split-decision for Josh Emmett, somehow gave him the 4th round. That was the clearest round of the fight… but for Kattar! Emmet got dropped and outlanded by a huge margin. Absolutely indefensible score that decided the fight, unreal. #UFCAustin pic.twitter.com/qCTW9aVn1k

Emmett clearly took the 3rd round, Kattar took the last two despite Emmett's strong finish in Rd 4. Rds 1-2 were extremely close. Close fights are not robberies, but you gotta feel for Kattar here.
