Pros react to Josh Emmett’s shocking upset KO of Ricardo Lamas
Last night, in the co-main event of UFC on Fox 26, Team Alpha Male prospect Josh Emmett stepped into the Octagon for a short notice bout with long-time featherweight contender Ricardo Lamas. Though Emmett unfortunately missed weight for this fight, he managed to make good on the opportunity in the end, knocking Lamas out with a swooping left hook in the first round.
Unsurprisingly, this massive upset win generated some interesting reactions from Emmett’s fellow pros on Twitter. See some of the best reactions below!
