That victory did not come without consequences for Emmett, who suffered a myriad of injuries during the bout.
Brett Okamoto of ESPN reports that Emmett suffered a complete ACL tear, a partial MCL tear, a focal impact fracture of femur, damaged cartilage and swelling.
Gutted for Josh. I asked him on Saturday if he was apprehensive about what an MRI would show, and he admitted he was pissed about it. Wish him a very speedy recovery, obviously. I do think he'll come back to a big fight, whenever he's healthy.
