This is always one of the kind of fights you want to put…… then the next day you regret every life decision you’ve made till that point.
— ike vallie-flagg (@IKEVF) June 21, 2020
Burgos chin is amazing. He must be rolling with these to take some pop off them because they are coming in so hot.
— David Michaud (@bulldawg_170) June 21, 2020
The sound of Emmett’s punches in this empty venue is insane. Not sure how Burgos can walk through them. Great fight. #UFCVegas3
