A back and forth action right from the first moment as both Stephens and Emmett played the counter game well. Emmett landed a jab cross and Stephens came back with a spinning backfist. It looked as if for every strike they had another strike ready to launch. As they both engage, Stephens lands a powerful left hook that drops Emmett to the mat covering up ad trying to get back but eats a grazig knee that drops him again and the final elbows seal the deal at 1:35 secs of the second round.
The left hook of @LilHeathenMMA that was the beginning of the end! #UFCOrlando pic.twitter.com/2TzDOciIDM

What did @DC_MMA think of @LatifiMMA's call out?
