Clear round 4 for Kattar, clear round 3 for Emmett. Close rounds 1 and 2 but I gave to Kattar bc a lot of Emmett’s shots were deflecting off the high guard then. #UFCAustin

I think kattar got 2,3,5 emmitt through hard but missed a lot and hit arms but I’m not mad about the decision

Man I swear they judge people being moved by punches even if they were blocked. Hell of a fight, but he thought he had that 4 to 1? Gtfo
