Ilia Topuria and Josh Emmett highlight tonight’s UFC Fight Night card in Jacksonville, FL. Both will be looking to carve through the other to form a path to UFC featherweight gold. Emmett has had one crack at that already, but the upstart Topuria will be hoping he can prevent the American from getting there again anytime soon.
Also on this card we have Amanda Ribas vs. Maycee Barber and Neil Magny vs. Phillip Rowe.
