At first, the public, who had not yet noticed the exposed fracture in the ring finger of the athlete's left hand, booed his stance at the end of the fight, as Emmett ran around the octagon – avoiding the physical clash with Tuck.
However, after the confrontation, Josh made a point of showing off his fractured finger to the cameras and his training colleagues on the Team Alpha Male team filmed the moment the bandages wrapped around his hand were removed.
At 31, Josh Emmett now he has expanded his undefeated professional record to ten wins in ten fights – half of them by jury decision, in addition to three knockouts and two submissions.
