UFC Vegas 114: Kevin Vallejos makes statement with 1st-round TKO of Josh Emmett Argentina’s Kevin Vallejos made a bold statement in the main event of UFC Vegas 114, defeating Josh Emmett with a first-round technical knockout. The 24-year-old strawweight, who entered the fight with a 4-0 record in the UFC, overwhelmed Emmett with relentless pressure, securing the victory at 3:33 into the first round. Vallejos, who has remained undefeated in his UFC career, used the win to signal his intent to return to Buenos Aires for a future event, addressing his home fans with confidence. “Argentina, keep dreaming. Because you’re going to have a world champion,” he said through an interpreter. Emmett, a 41-year-old veteran with a 19-7 MMA record, has struggled in recent fights, losing his last three contests. His last victory came over 27 months ago, in December 2023, and the defeat marked another setback in his career. Vallejos’ performance highlighted his potential as a featherweight contender, showcasing his ability to dominate opponents in the early stages of a fight. The co-main event featured Canadian strawweight Gillian Robertson, who earned a unanimous decision victory over Brazilian fighter Amanda Lemos. Robertson, who has won five consecutive fights, secured all three judges’ scorecards (29-28) to move closer to a title shot. Lemos, now on a three-fight losing streak, faced another setback after losing three of her last four bouts. Robertson’s dominance in the division has positioned her as a rising star in the strawweight ranks. The card also included a standout performance from featherweight Andre Fili and Mexico’s Jose Miguel Delgado, who delivered an intense battle that was considered a Fight of the Year contender.#josh_emmett #ufc_vegas_114 #kevin_vallejos #gillian_robertson #amanda_lemos
