The highly touted Douglas made a spectacular UFC debut this past March with a first-round finish of Julian Erosa, but on Saturday, Emmers turned the tables on him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Emmers connected with a right hand straight down the pipe that badly hurt Douglas and brought an end to their duel in the opening round.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Emmers wasn\u2019t afraid to strike with the dangerous Douglas, but he didn\u2019t fight recklessly either, instead circling the cage strategically to avoid exchanges where Douglas could get a bead on him. Though Douglas had his moments, it was the patient Emmers who landed the deciding blow, throwing a 1-2 combination that scrambled Douglas\u2019 defenses and left him vulnerable to a knockout blow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The official time of the stoppage was 3:38 of Round 1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Emmers (23-8) strings together three straight wins for the first time in his UFC career following victories against Hyder Amil and Gabriel Miranda.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">This is the first UFC loss for Douglas (14-6) in his second UFC appearance and he sees a six-fight win streak come to an end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jamall Emmers reminded everyone why fights aren\u2019t decided on paper.
