Yair Rodriguez vs Josh Emmett Prediction: Not to Bat an Eyelid

Prediction for the UFC 284 Yair Rodriguez vs Josh Emmett fight, which will take place on February 12th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Yair Rodriguez is the same guy who epically knocked out the Korean Zombie from the elbow at the last second of the fight. And that's enough to fall in love with this guy and start being a fan of him.

Rodriguez is a drummer of the highest class and a spectacular drummer who hits with his feet more often than with his hands. He has been rubbing around the title fight for quite a long time, but in the fall of 2021, he missed his chance, losing to Max Holloway.

In his last fight to date, Yair won against Brian Ortega, but not the way he wanted – Ortega injured his shoulder and could not continue. Although Yair was ready to give him a rematch, he had a chance to fight for the belt, albeit temporarily.

Yair is second in the ranking for a reason – he is one of the best fighters in the world. He is swift, agile, and explosive. I will go out into the cage and use the holes in his style, which he most likely did not have time to close during the 10-week camp. I'll be one step ahead.

Josh Emmett

Josh Emmett is an unremarkable age fighter who secretly and unexpectedly organized a series of five consecutive victories for himself. Moreover, it cannot be said that the opposition was feeble. These guys are pretty severe – Michael Johnson, Mirsad Bektic, Shane Burgos, Dan Ige, and Calvin Kattar.

Emmett is distinguished in battle by his composure, not climbing into trouble, and putting victory above entertainment. He can calmly bring fights to judicial decisions if he understands he is winning. If he does not understand, he still does not risk much, and he prefers a tit in his hand to a crane in the sky.

Josh is a dangerous opponent. He can do damage if he hits with a single blow. I respect Emmett. He has the right priorities. In general, there will be a war, as always

Yair Rodriguez

Emmett will be broken in the rack, and until he is knocked out, he will have to look for a fight and clinches at least as much as possible. But Rodriguez defends himself well from takedowns, moves superbly, and feels physically stronger. In general, we see no chance for Josh except to dry up the fight and hope for a wonderful referee decision. The probability of this is not very high.
