LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC Austin: Kattar vs. Emmett results throughout the night (Sat. June 18. 2022) live from the Moody Center In Austin, Texas.

Taking main event honors in ‘The Lone Star State’ — a featherweight pairing between division contenders, Calvin Kattar, and Josh Emmett.

Attempting to land his second straight victory since a one-sided ‘Fight Island’ loss to former champion, Max Holloway, Kattar returned to the Octagon in January with a brutally one-sided win of his own against Giga Chikadze.

As for Emmett, the surging knockout ace scored his fourth consecutive victory back in December at UFC 269, battling over the course of three back-and-forth rounds to defeat common-foe, Dan Ige.

A lightweight pairing between Donald Cerrone and Joe Lauzon was scheduled to take co-headlining honors at the event, however, the bout has since been cancelled by the organization after Lauzon suffered a leg injury ahead of tonight’s return to Austin.

Tony Kelley

It was nearly a clean sweep on the scales for all the fighters making the walk at UFC Fight Night: Kattar vs Emmett.

Bantamweight Tony Kelley was the only fighter to miss weight from the 14-fight card, weighing in 1.5lbs over the limit. As per the UFC, his bout with Adrian Yanez will still go ahead, and Kelly will forfeit 20% of his purse.

Tony Kelley Misses Bantamweight Limit

Despite the drama at bantamweight, every competitor made weight, including headliners Calvin Kattar and Josh Emmet, who battle it out in a featherweight contest, which may have huge implications in the title picture.

Calvin Kattar vs. Josh Emmet

Calvin Kattar bounced back in fanatic fashion, defeating Giga Chikadze in his most recent bout after taking a year out. Prior to the victory, Kattar was at the wrong end of a one-sided beatdown to Max Holloway. A statement win over an in-form Emmet could push Kattar back inside the title challenger conversations.

After suffering a second career loss to Jeremy Stephens, Emmet has turned a corner winning his last four inside the UFC Octagon. At 37 years old, his main event clash vs Kattar will more than likely be his last opportunity to clinch on to featherweight title aspirations. Emmet recently bagged decisions over Dan Ige and Shane Burgos and will be hopeful of adding Calvin Kattar to that noteworthy list.

Kattar Casts Vote For The Model Current UFC Champion

Calvin Kattar is still hunting for his first shot at UFC gold, but the #4-ranked featherweight already knows exactly what current champion he’d like to emulate.

Speaking at the UFC on ESPN 37 media day prior to his main event bout with Josh Emmett, Kattar discussed the upcoming title fight between Alexander Volkanovski and former opponent Max Holloway.

The 34-year-old was dismissive when asked if a Volkanovski win would be better for his own title aspirations, but he took the opportunity to compliment both fighters.

“I’m excited for [Volkanovski vs. Holloway 3],” Kattar answered when asked about the fight. “I like both guys, watching both guys fight. I’ve got a lot of respect for both, they want guys that earn opportunities and compete. Like after that fight with Max, I felt like he might have been next up in line for a title fight anyway, and he still chose to stay busy and fight Yair. So, props to him.

“Then Alex fighting him a third time just to put an end to that chapter, you’ve gotta respect that. He’s a busy fighter, you know? I think he resembles what a champion should act like at that point. Not just picking and choosing but wanting the best fights. I think we’re all in for a good one in July.”

Volkanovski claimed the featherweight championship from Holloway at UFC 245 in 2019. The Australian earned a split-decision in their rematch the following year and has since defended his belt twice more against Brian Ortega and Chan Sung Jung.

The scheduled third fight with Holloway will be the first time Volkanovski has defended his title twice in a calendar year. While that may seem relatively inactive compared to fighters on their way up, Kattar appreciates that Volkanovski has been one of the UFC’s busier champions during his title reign.

“I would say if I had the option, it’d be good to have a busy champ. Like I said, I think [Volkanovski] definitely acts the way a champ should act. And I would have that same mindset, where I would wanna fight the guys that are earning their opportunities, not the ones that are kind of waiting for guys to fight and see how it settles…I don’t know, people get too cute with it. I think he just wants guys that are earning their next opportunity, and that’s the way I wanna get my opportunity. By earning them, staying busy, competing and taking on the best guys to get there.”

“The Boston Finisher” was a on a two-fight win streak before losing a unanimous decision to former champion Holloway in 2021. He rebounded with a dominant performance against Giga Chikadze earlier this year and will face Josh Emmett in a potential featherweight title eliminator at UFC on ESPN 37.

What do you think of Kattar’s thoughts on how Volkanovski has conducted himself as UFC champion?

The UFC makes the trip to Austin this weekend with one of the most stacked Fight Night cards of the year.

Calvin Kattar vs. Josh Emmett promises to be stacks of featherweight fun, whilst a co-main event between Joe Lauzon and Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone is one for the long-time fans of the sport.

Mix in bouts featuring the likes of Kevin Holland, Adrian Yanez, and Joaquin Buckley, and this should truly be a Fight Night to remember. Join LowKick MMA as we break down our top 3 bets for this weekend’s event.

Calvin Kattar vs. Josh Emmett

In the main event of the night, Calvin Kattar takes on Josh Emmett in a featherweight bout that will see the victor cement themself in the top five of the division.

Emmett is a solid fighter with two very strong weapons in his arsenal. Those being solid wrestling and one-punch KO power. However, unfortunately for him, Calvin Kattar is not only excellent at defending takedowns but is also incredibly durable.

Emmett may well have some success early on, but watch for Kattar to begin asserting dominance as the fight goes on. His striking is clinical and brutally effective, to the point where it would not be a surprise to see him finish the fight in the later rounds.

Kattar’s ML is currently at 1.44 on Betway, which is priced relatively accurately. If you feel confident about Kattar’s chances of finishing the fight, then his KO line is at a rather appealing 3.10. However, we will parlay his ML with one of the bigger favorites on the card, such as Jasmine Jasdavicious or Ricardo Ramos.

Pick: Calvin Kattar ML parlayed with Jasdavicious ML.

Joe Lauzon vs. Donald Cerrone

A bout between two fan-favorite MMA veterans takes the co-main event slot of UFC Vegas 57. After the bout was initially canceled due to ‘Cowboy’ suffering food poisoning, fans will finally be able to see Donald Cerrone and Joe Lauzon throw down this weekend.

There are a number of intriguing caveats to this fight that may sway bettors to one side or the other. We will be backing the underdog, Joe Lauzon. Cerrone has remained the more active fighter, but he is winless in his past six octagon appearances. In four of these performances, ‘Cowboy’ was finished inside the distance.

Lauzon admittedly has not competed since 2019 but is coming off a win, having knocked out Jonathan Pearce in the first round. We will be banking on Lauzon’s finishing ability, as well as the diminishing durability of Cerrone.

Lauzon’s ML can be found at 2.40 on Betway, which is the line we will take. However, it may also be worth taking a stab at Lauzon to win in Rnd 1, priced at 6.50.

Pick: Joe Lauzon ML.

Adrian Yanez vs. Tony Kelly & Cody Stamann vs. Eddie Wineland

For our final bet, we will put together a parlay from two UFC bantamweight prelims bouts.

Adrian Yanez is one of the division’s biggest prospects, and should be facing a higher level of opposition at this point. Not to say that Tony Kelly isn’t a talented fighter, he clearly is, as shown in his recent win over Randy Costa. However, Yanez has that something special, and this will be yet another opportunity to display exactly why so many MMA hardcore fans are hyped about him.

Cody Stamann is a solid fighter in the prime of his career, having already defeated the likes of Brian Kelleher, and Alejandro Perez. He takes on a veteran of the game in the form of Eddie Wineland. With his debut taking place in 2003, Wineland is one of the most experienced fighters on the entire UFC roster. However, bantamweight is not a division that is kind to fighters in the twilight of their careers. Wineland is coming off back-to-back KO losses and has not won in the UFC since 2019.

Parlaying Yanez and Stamann’s Money Lines gives us 1.56 odds on Betway.

Pick: Adrian Yanez & Cody Stamann ML.

Alternate UFC Fight Night: Kattar vs. Emmett Bets:

Joaquin Buckley ML – 3.00.

Adrian Yanez by KO/TKO – 2.62.

Gregory Rodrigues by Submission – 5.00.

UFC featherweights Calvin Kattar and Josh Emmett will compete in the company’s return to Texas.

Emmett is looking to continue his winning streak to become the next featherweight title challenger. His last loss was against Jeremy Stephens when the UFC was still airing on Fox on Feb. 24, 2018.

After taking a year off, Emmett began his four-fight win streak, defeating Michael Johnson by knockout at UFC on ESPN 2 on Mar. 30, 2019. A win over Kattar puts Emmett in serious conversation to fight for the UFC featherweight championship.

Kattar is hoping to have a winning streak and remain a threat in the division. The “Boston Finisher” had to take almost a year off from fighting after his grueling unanimous decision loss to Max Halloway at UFC on ABC 1 on Jan. 16, 2021.

He returned, defeating rising featherweight contender Giga Chikadze by unanimous decision at UFC Vegas 46 on Jan. 15. A win over Emmett could make the UFC consider making him fight for the featherweight title next, especially if Holloway is able to reclaim the championship from Alex Volkanovski at UFC 276 on Jul. 2.
