Let us remind you that the meeting between these fighters was supposed to take place at the last UFC 296 tournament, but Chikadze withdrew due to injury. As a result, Josh knocked out Bryce Mitchell with a terrible knockout.
“I definitely don’t want to fight Chikadze anymore. I want to get back into the race for the belt. Fighting guys below me in the rankings is too much of a risk for little reward. They offer nothing but risk. I want to fight someone who can help me get a title shot,” Emmett is quoted as saying by MMA News.
