News about Josh Emmett

Mitchell was on the wrong end of one of the worst knockouts in MMA history at UFC 296, when Emmett delivered a brutal blow to his head, sending 'Thug Nasty' into a brief moment of unconsciousness. The knockout video went viral almost immediately after it was broadcast.

A well-recovered Mitchell posted a video from his farm in Arkansas on Monday. In the clip, he praised Emmett for not striking him with what would have been deadly follow-up shots. 'I want to tell you that I am so happy with Josh Emmet,' Mitchell said. 'Because right after he knocked me out, he may have stuck up with the hammer fists and may have killed me,' he says.' He didn't even bother to follow up with anything,' He continued. He was just content with his knockout and walked away.' I'm so grateful for that, and I'll always remember it.'

Mitchell pulled out at 1:57 p.m., but was unable to get up for the official decision.
