A detailed fight analysis examines Josh Emmett's performance against Curtis Blaydes at UFC 327. The piece notes that while Emmett's brawling style fits his public persona and appeals to fans like Trump and Dana White, it may not be sustainable against elite opponents like Alex Pereira or Sergei Pavlovich. The analyst observes that Emmett's power remained consistent even in the third round of an exhausting fight, crediting coach Brandon Gibson's training. Emmett's wrestling defense was highlighted as particularly impressive, easily neutralizing Blaydes' takedown attempts. The analysis suggests Emmett's fighting style perfectly matches the current UFC landscape under Trump and White, but questions whether this approach will work against top contenders. A potential matchup with Derrick Lewis is mentioned, with concern that Lewis may prioritize money and avoiding damage over seeking victory.
