Rob Emerson (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Robert Michael Emerson (born July 30, 1981) is an American professional mixed martial artist (MMA) fighter. Emerson is a former Pancrase and King of the Cage fighter. He was a cast member of The Ultimate Fighter 5. On episode 3 of The Ultimate Fighter 5, Emerson faced eventual winner of the show, Nate Diaz. In the second round of an exciting and back and forth fight Diaz managed to secure a rear naked choke for the win. However, BJ Penn told the viewers that he could not take anything away from Emerson, as he had given the fight his all. After Gabe Ruediger was taken off the show for his inability to make the 155 lb weight limit Dana White brought back Emerson. Corey Hill, Ruediger's initial opponent, picked him to fight. The first round belonged to Hill as Emerson had problems getting inside on his lanky foe and dealing with his substantial reach advantage.
