Overview

Three UFC knockouts, all in the first round, none after the 4:43 mark. Jamall Emmers has a finishing pattern, but his record also shows how many of his fights went to the judges.

Emmers fights at featherweight out of Team Alpha Male and sits at 6-4 in the UFC, inside a 23-8-0 professional record that includes non-UFC fights. He arrives at his next fight on a three-fight win streak, which is also his longest in the promotion.

Six wins, four losses, and the decisions fell both ways. That tells you how close most of his fights have been.

UFC Career

Emmers debuted at UFC 248 in March 2020 and lost a split decision to Giga Chikadze. He bounced back four months later with a unanimous decision over Vince Cachero, then dropped a first-round submission to Pat Sabatini in August 2021, a loss that ended at 1:53.

Back in February 2023 he beat Khusein Askhabov by unanimous decision, then lost a split decision to Jack Jenkins that June. Then came the first knockout: Dennis Buzukja at UFC 295, 0:49 into round one. In March 2024 he met Nate Landwehr and was stopped in the first round at 4:43.

That loss was the last of his current run. He stopped Gabriel Miranda in round one in March 2025, took a unanimous decision over Hyder Amil that November, and finished Lerryan Douglas in round one at 3:38 in August 2026.

Before the UFC, Emmers appeared on Dana White's Contender Series and lost to Julian Erosa by second-round TKO. That fight isn't part of his UFC record.

Three wins in a row, two of them first-round finishes.

Fighting Style

Emmers is a busy striker who is hard to hit. He throws and lands at a high rate and defends better than most, while his accuracy and the damage he absorbs sit about where you'd expect.

He is also an active wrestler who takes the fight to the mat often and is very hard to take down. He rarely hunts for submissions, and none of his UFC wins came that way.

The finish pattern is simple: all three of his stoppage wins came by KO/TKO in round one. The other three wins went the distance, all by decision. Of his four losses, two were by decision, one by submission and one by TKO.
