UFC fighter and Sacramento’s Josh Emmett is fighting someone this weekend he’s had little time to plan for.
Originally, UFC 296 was set to feature Emmett taking on Giga Chikadze. Unfortunately, Chikadze suffered a groin injury during training, which resulted in pulling out of the fight.
Stepping up, though, is Bryce Mitchell, who committed to the featherweight bout just 10 days before the event. The 38-year-old Emmett will look to get back in the win column as he rides a two-fight losing streak into Saturday.
Same Place, Same Time, Same Objective!!!
