I had four to one. At least three to two and when they went split [decision], I was like come on! But it worked out in my favor.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cCalvin Kattar is a dog. Like I told you guys, I was ready for a 25-minute war. He\u2019s tough as hell. Usually, when I hit people with those big shots to the head or the body, they\u2019re not standing there and he was right in the mix coming forward with those elbows and knees. He has a slick jab. I was so well prepared. My coaches, everybody, this is our time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nEmmett also expressed confidence in his ability to take out the likes of current featherweight champion Alex Volkanovski and Max Holloway.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want that shot,\u201d Emmett said. \u201cI said the No. 2 and 3 guys [Brian Ortega and Yair Rodriguez], they\u2019re phenomenal fighters, they\u2019ve fought the top guys Max Holloway and Alexander Volkanovski. We need some new blood in the division.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cI know I can compete with them. I\u2019m the best featherweight on this planet. I\u2019m ready. I want to be sitting cageside in two weeks [at UFC 276] to see who I\u2019m fighting next. I know I can compete with these guys. I know I can beat these guys.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Josh Emmett admitted he had a bad feeling when the score totals were being read following his war with Calvin Kattar.
