PHILADELPHIA – Before he walked to the octagon at UFC on ESPN 2, UFC featherweight Josh Emmett spent one hour with a “mind coach” that had him visualizing a winning scenario. Then, Emmett (14-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) went out and made it reality. “It was that exact punch, landing an overhand right, perfect placement to the chin, and him just out cold, hitting the ground – and walk-off home run,” the Team Alpha Male fighter said of his concussive finish of Michael Johnson (19-14 MMA, 11-10 UFC) at Saturday’s ESPN-televised event at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Emmett said his coach works with military personnel and police in addition to fighters. Whatever the coach is doing, it appears he’s getting the right help. And it couldn’t have come at a better time for Emmett, who spent much of last year on the mend from a brutal knockout that left him with multiple facial fractures.
