Main Event: Kattar vs. Emmett
In the main event, featherweight contenders No. 4 ranked Kattar and No. 7 ranked Emmett put together a tactical, high level striker's battle. While Emmett scored early on, Kattar and his jab racked up the final rounds. Two judges scored for Emmett, giving him the split decision victory.
Following the win, Emmett said, "There's a huge title fight in two weeks. I want to be sitting at cageside to see who I'm fighting next. There needs to be some new blood in the division, and I can get it done."
Co-Main Event: Holland vs. Means (Image: UFC Media)
Means and Texas representative Holland moved into the co-main event spot. It was a back and forth thriller that saw the momentum shift through the first round, then damage by Holland led to him locking up a D'arce choke for the second round tap out.
After the stoppage win, Holland said, "Let's go, baby! Two wins at welterweight, both in the second round. I need to get you guys some first round finishes so we can go get whiskey a little earlier. Honestly, I'm not trying to be cocky here, but I think I can submit anybody in the world. We don't slow down, we step up!"
