00:00The story for Kevin Vachejos is how good he has looked, and the question is, how high will he rise
00:05in this featherweight division in the UFC?
00:09Kevin Vachejos, the betting favorite, is in black, Josh Emmett's in white.
00:13Obviously the story when it comes to Josh Emmett, it's the power, we know that.
00:18Of course, Vachejos also has power.
00:21But he has, he's got the slickness, he sets things up, he's got the speed, he's got a really good
00:27technical ability,
00:29and a massively high fight IQ for such a young man.
00:33Of course, Josh Emmett's got the experience, he's been in there with nothing literally but the best fighters.
00:42Vachejos said, I can use my knees, I can use my elbows, I can use my kicks differently on this
00:46matchup
00:47because I'm facing somebody that's my height, and that's going to be different,
00:50and that's what's going to make me look different in this fight.
00:53And of course, Josh Emmett, 41 years young, not old, Brendan.
00:59He said he's never felt better.
01:00This is a man that really follows a strict recovery protocol, takes care of his body.
01:07I mean, the man's just, he's just ripped anywhere, look at it.
01:14That calf kick is going to set up a lot of the rhythm for Vachejos as this fight goes on.
01:18He likes to find that classic.
01:21There's the shot.
01:24And that left hook to the body is one of his better weapons, so keep an eye out for that.
01:28He's going to be looking for it to shut down the right hand of Emmett.
01:31And that's why I said the Teporia comparisons.
01:34You see the three shots that he just picked there, just perfectly thrown like a professional boxer.
01:41And look at that, again.
01:42Counter attack from Vachejos and an elbow in close.
01:47He cut Josh Emmett early.
02:01He's got his rhythm early.
02:04Emmett's only landed one strike.
02:07The reflexes, they're crazy from Vachejos.
02:12The problem right now is Emmett's loading everything from the outside, so
02:16he's not throwing something light to set up the big shots.
02:20And the thing is, when you see those big looping hooks come, when you're young like this guy,
02:24you're brand new, you're fresh, and you've got the speed and the reflexes, you see those coming.
02:29And this man has head movement, like, as I said before, a professional boxer.
02:35He sees that coming, and then the big loops, they give you a lot of opening.
02:41The countess, present, that's the word I was looking for, they present all this.
02:46We'll be touching, we'll be touching, nice and light, we'll be touching.
02:50The thing that's missing for Emmett also is he's not fainting or faking, so
02:53it's allowing Vachejos to be able to time his counter like that.
02:56Whoa!
02:57Time it together.
02:59Vachejos pounding away now on the ground.
03:08Kevin Vachejos.
03:09Emmett's staying in it so far, but right now he's getting beaten up.
03:15Vachejos, Vachejos, see if Vachejos can get him out of here.
03:19A knee as Emmett returns to his feet.
03:23Emmett a big swing, puts himself off balance, and he's still on weak legs.
03:27Yeah, this is gonna be done in a second.
03:29Protect yourself.
03:31One, two, three, two.
03:31Oh my goodness.
03:33Another right hand, and that's gonna do it, Kevin Vachejos.
