Josh Emmett posted a photo showing his face approximately one hour after his three-round battle with Curtis Blaydes at UFC 327. In the image, Emmett displayed visible swelling and damage while commenting on jaw pain. The post indicates the physical toll of their Fight of the Night performance, which saw over 350 significant strikes exchanged. Despite the grueling contest, Emmett remained in character and humor when sharing the aftermath. The fight was so impressive that he was immediately booked for another bout at the White House event shortly after leaving the octagon.
