Drops controversial split decision
Emeev lost to Danny Roberts via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It's a crushing defeat for Emeev in a fight which he likely deserved to win. To make matter worse, Emeev entered as the second biggest favorite on the card at -320. Not one of the three rounds was scored unanimously by any of the three judges. Neither man was all that active on the feet, as Emeev attempted just 112 total strikes compared to 102 from Roberts (unofficially). Neither man scored a knockdown. In short, there wasn't a ton separating the two, but it's a loss the 34-year-old Emeev simply could not afford. Expect the Dagestani to do whatever is possible to get back in the Octagon ASAP following this heart breaker.
