Josh Emmett's fighting style against Curtis Blaydes, while successful, showed vulnerabilities that could prove costly against elite competition. The analysis suggests Emmett could fight more defensively but maintains his aggressive persona, which led to him absorbing many strikes from Blaydes. Despite taking damage, Emmett showed improved power and continued throwing heavy shots even in the third round, including effective elbow work. His takedown defense was highly impressive, easily stuffing Blaydes' wrestling attempts. However, the reckless style that fits with Trump and Dana White's preferences may lead to a knockout loss against fighters like Alex Pereira or Sergei Pavlovich. For a potential fight with Derrick Lewis, the concern is that Lewis may enter with a mindset focused on earning money and avoiding damage rather than pursuing victory.
