"I just got caught. That's this sport. I got caught, it's frustrating, so what I've kind of learned from that is kind of take it all in, have a short memory. I just needed to move on, otherwise it's going to effect me. I can't dwell on the past and effect everything I'm trying to accomplish in the future."
"He's a young kid, he's got a whole country behind him. He kind of reminds me a little bit of myself just with his power and his striking. I'm excited to get in there and mix it up with someone that's going to stand there and trade with me. I'm stoked for Saturday night."
"I know what's going on. He's a young prospect, he's had success. He's 3-0 in the UFC right now, and the UFC wants to test him. They think a lot of him. They know what they're going to get with me. There's a reason they're putting us in a small octagon, two guys that are going to stand there and box."
Josh Emmett, a 41-year-old featherweight veteran, competes against Kevin Vallejos in the UFC Vegas 114 main event. Emmett recently suffered a submission loss to Youssef Zalal and emphasizes the importance of moving forward without dwelling on past defeats. Vallejos, making his main event debut, is an undefeated UFC prospect (3-0) who notably knocked out Giga Chikadze with a spinning backfist. Emmett recognizes the matchup's dynamics: he represents established experience while Vallejos embodies hungry ambition. Emmett respects Vallejos's striking power and willingness to engage, viewing the bout as an ideal striking showcase in a small octagon format.
