UFC on FOX 28 went down tonight (Saturday, February 24, 2018) from the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida. The night was headlined by two rising featherweight contenders in Josh Emmett and Jeremy Stephens. “Lil Heathen” had to survive some early adversity, getting dropped in the first frame. But he returned the favor in the second, dropping Emmett in the second with a looping left hook. Unlike Emmett, Stephens was able to adequately follow-up to get the W. He smashed Emmett into unconsciousness with elbows to close out another signature win.

The co-feature was a number-one contender battle as women’s strawweights as Tecia Torres and Jessica Andrade locked horns. Torres took a competitive first round with effective counter punches, but Andrade’s relentless pressure and physicality won out. Over the final ten minutes, the Brazilian repeatedly slammed the “Tiny Tornado” to the mat. Torres was almost always able to return to her feet, but Andrade banked the final two frames to lock up the win.

A firefight was promised when featherweight sluggers Jeremy Stephens and Josh Emmett locked horns in the main event of tonight’s (Sat., February 24, 2018) UFC on FOX 28 from the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida.

And the main event delivered on that promise in every sense, as it was a back-and-forth war between two of the hardest hitters at 145 pounds from the bell. Emmett flashed his fight-ending power early and caught Stephens with a hard right hook that dropped him to open the gates for a huge elbow on the ground.

Emmett may have been a bit overconfident, however, as he taunted Stephens that he was going down again.

The opposite proved true, with “Lil’ Heathen” landing an accurate counter left hook that hurt Emmett and allowed Stephens to finish the bout with an absolutely brutal series of elbows that put Emmett unconscious in the second round.

Controversy arose after the bout when slow-motion replay showed Stephens may or may not have landed an illegal knee and some hard elbows to the back of Emmett’s head in a chaotic finishing sequence. Either way, “Lil’ Heathen” has yet another knockout win and is inching close to a featherweight title shot.

Watch the highlights of the vicious finish right here:
