Round 1

The first round saw a slow paced tempo with lots of kicking. Lots of jabs were thrown by both fighters in the opening minute. The sparring match turned into a fight when Emerson glanced a powerful left hook that sent Nakamura's mouthpiece flying out of the cage. Emerson continued to kick at Nakamura's legs and landed a solid low kick at the end of the exchange. Near the end of the round, Nakamura knocked Emerson down with a knee to the face from the clinch, but Emerson recovered quickly. First round goes to Emerson.
