Jamall Emmers

Emmers can win on the feet or on the mat — 7 takedowns and 8:35 of control vs Amil, plus knockdowns in two of his last three.

Emmers is 23-8 with three straight wins on file and the deeper toolbox — seven takedowns, 8:35 of control and a submission attempt against Hyder Amil, two knockdowns against Gabriel Miranda, and a knockdown against Douglas on only 17 significant strikes. Douglas is 14-6 with real pop (two knockdowns in each of his last two wins, over Erosa and Teague), but in the meeting with Emmers he landed just 14 significant strikes with no takedowns and no control. That bout played out standing, and Emmers still found the knockdown, while his grappling against Amil shows a second path to victory Douglas has not displayed.
