Kattar vs. Emmett

The event in Austin, Texas was led by a Featherweight main event between Calvin Kattar and Josh Emmett. Kattar entered off a win over Giga Chikadze, while Emmett was riding a four-fight winning streak as both pushed toward contention. The decision in the main event was very controversial, with many fans believing Kattar deserved the win. A planned bout between Joe Lauzon and Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone was canceled on fight day after Lauzon was removed due to a non-weight related medical issue.
