Emmett assessed Topuria's prospects at lightweight

Former UFC interim featherweight title challenger Josh Emmett has spoken out about Elijah Topuria's move to the lightweight division.

"I can definitely see Topuria having trouble at lightweight. He's shorter in stature and significantly inferior to lightweights in size. I think even I'm taller than him, or at least not shorter, but I have a stronger build. First of all, I'd like to see him against fighters from the top five of the lightweight division, to see how he will cope with them. Then we can conclude what's in store for him in the title fight," MMA Fighting quoted Emmett as saying.
