Highlights! Ilia Topuria beats down Josh Emmett at UFC Fight Night

Join us today (June 24) as we cover the UFC Fight Night: Emmett vs. Topuria fight card. The main event features #5 ranked featherweight, Josh Emmett, looking to get back on track against the #9 ranked Ilia Topuria. The start time for the event is 11:30 AM ET/8:30 AM PT.

Emmett is coming off his first loss since 2018, coming up short against Yair Rodriguez for the interim featherweight title just over four months ago. The 38-year-old is looking to get back on track in a hurry, looking to be the first to hang an “O” on the undefeated brickhouse that is Topuria.

The co-main event features a pair of women’s flyweights who are vying to emerge as a potential title challenger. The #11 ranked Maycee Barber has managed to mature into a physical presence in the division that her opposition can hope to outmuscle while the savvy #9 ranked Amanda Ribas rebounded after dropping her debut at 125.

There’s also the #13 ranked middleweight Brendan Allen looking to turn away the powerful Bruno Silva and the #11 ranked welterweight Neil Magny hoping to hold off the similarly lanky Philip Rowe.

To get a feel for how our staff sees the UFC fight card playing out, our picks are here.
