Josh Emmett was recently offered comfort and encouragement by Kendra Lust, a well-known adult film performer. Emmett suffered a devastating loss at UFC 284, getting thoroughly outclassed by Yair Rodriguez's exceptional striking ability. The victory earned Rodriguez the interim featherweight championship.
'El Pantera' skillfully submitted Emmett in the second round with a triangle choke. He has now officially entered the UFC history books as a champion in his own right.
The 37-year-old Emmett was gracious in loss, thanking his followers and Yair Rodriguez. He tweeted:
"Thank you to EVERYONE who has been a part of my Journey! Wasn’t the outcome we worked for but It’ll motivate me to come back stronger! Head held high, on to the next one!"
