The co-main event of the UFC 284 is the featherweight bout between Yair Rodriguez and Josh Emmet.
Before Betting on Rodriguez vs. Emmet
El Pantera is one of the most enjoyable guys to watch in the UFC due to his incredible leg kicks that come from all sorts of positions and angles. Though, in recent years he became even more versatile, trying to expand his options inside the octagon and finally get his hands on the belt.
He comes off a win over Brian Ortega, who injured his shoulder which caused the bout to be stopped. After that, the Mexican didn’t have any other battles. He currently holds a record of 14 wins and three defeats, the most recent in 2021 against Max Holloway.
Josh Emmet is a tough-as-rock guy whose boxing is fantastic and, combined with elite wrestling, presents a deadly weapon against anyone in the division. Emmet recorded 18 victories and two defeats in his career, the last one in 2018 to Jeremy Stephens.
Afterward, Emmet posted five triumphs in a row against Michael Johnson, Mirsad Bektic, Shane Burgos, Dan Ige, and, most recently, Calvin Kattar via a split decision. It was a back-and-forth clash between two fighters who went toe to toe until the very end.
