One of the hardest hitting featherweight’s the UFC has ever seen, Josh Emmett has released his very own Indian Pale Ale, aptly named: ‘One Punch IPA’.
Emmett’s west coast Indian Pale Ale boasts an impressive alcohol percentage of 6.5% and according to Emmett, will be available in the tasting room before (assumedly) in local bars and online.
Let’s hope that Emmett’s beer is as knockout as his latest performance. Having dropped back to back fights, the 39 year old American got back in the win column in a huge way with a brutal knockout over Bryce Mitchell. Emmett’s knockout of Mitchell was many people’s pick for knockout of the year last year. The hard-hitting featherweight has the divisional record for most knockdowns and has recorded five post-fight bonuses, including two performance of the night wins.
Looking Ahead
Emmett, like many before him is clearly setting up for a life outside of fighting and post-UFC. At 39 years old, he’s certainly in the twilight of his career and could potentially be staring retirement in the face as he nears 40 years of age. With that being said, he hasn’t slowed down just yet. He notched three fights last year, including a five round war with the current champion, Ilia Topuria and an unsuccessful interim title opportunity against Yair Rodriguez in February.
Who knows, if the beer business goes well, we could have the UFC sponsored by ‘One Punch IPA’, much like Proper Twelve is now.
