| Round 2
Emerson continued to work at Nakamura's legs with low kicks throughout the second frame. Finding his range with the kicks also set up several crisp, short right hands for Emerson that found their target. By the halfway point of the round, Nakamura; now cut and sporting a decent sized mouse under his right eye, scored a takedown but could not hold Emerson down. The American got back to his feet and continued to kick at Nakamura's legs and aim for the swollen eye with jabs. 10-9 Emerson. |
