5) Josh Emmett (16-2)
Height: 5’6
Birthday: March 4, 1985
Currently Fighting With: UFC
Last 5 fights:
– vs. Shane Burgos – Win via decision (unanimous) – UFC on ESPN – June 20, 2020
– vs. Mirsad Bektic – Win via TKO (strikes) – UFC Fight Night – July 13, 2019

– vs. Ricardo Lamas – Win via KO (punch) – UFC on Fox – December 16, 2017
Next scheduled appearance:
– vs. Dan Ige – UFC 269 – December 11, 2021
Comment: If not for injuries, Emmett may have been in a title fight last year or in 2021. Due to those setbacks, he will have fought once in 2019, 2020 and 2021. Not ideal, but cage rust has never been a factor for him to date. He’s back in action at UFC 269, recovered from a torn ACL last summer, against Dan Ige. With a win, he’ll become the highest ranked UFC featherweight challenger on an active win streak. Only Zabit Magomedsharipov has a longer streak, but he’s not seen action in two years.
