Josh Emmett and Calvin Kattar went the distance in a back-and-forth fight and you just knew that MMA Twitter would have something to say about it.
The tense featherweight headliner capped off a dramatic Saturday night of action at UFC Austin, which saw a multitude of highlight-reel finishes and two incredible fights that were hotly debated up to and after the reading of the scorecards.
