Jamall “Pretty Boy” Emmers (17-5 MMA, 0-1 UFC)

Bantamweight (135lbs): Making UFC and Pro career debut on August 1st

Featherweight (145lbs): 0-1 (UFC), Missed weight three times in pro career

Jamall Emmers has just one fight in the UFC, when he was on the wrong side of a split decision against Giga Chikadze earlier this year in March. This fight, like the majority of Jamall’s professional MMA bouts, was held at featherweight. Emmers has had a couple of catchweight bouts above 145lbs as well.

Emmers has missed weight 3 times in his professional career and all of them came while he was trying to make 145lbs. Now at UFC Vegas 5, Jamall Emmers is looking to make his professional and UFC debut at the 135lb weight class. At 5’10” and equipped with a 74″ reach Emmers will be one of the largest bantamweights in the UFC if his weight cutting goes off without a hitch.
