Timeline

1981

Robert Michael Emerson (born July 30, 1981) is an American professional mixed martial artist.

2002

A professional competitor since 2002, Emerson is also a veteran of Bellator MMA, the UFC, Pancrase, and was a cast member of The Ultimate Fighter 5.

Emerson was born in Huntington Beach, California and grew up in Dana Point, California.

He started training Kyokushin Karate at the age of nine and picked up also Kajukenbo later.

Being severely bullied in the school for his Tourettes, Emerson got into lots of fights in his juvenile years.

While preparing to embark on a military career, Emerson went to an unsanctioned mixed martial arts show and ended up fighting there, kindling a fire to pursue a career in the sport.

After being released from jail in 2002, Emerson made his professional debut against Jens Pulver at an Ultimate Wrestling event on June 29, 2002.

He lost the bout via unanimous decision.

According to Emerson, he bypassed the tryouts as he was invited to participate directly to The Ultimate Fighter 5.

On episode three of the season, Emerson faced eventual winner of the show, Nate Diaz.

In the second round of an exciting, back-and-forth fight, Diaz managed to secure a rear naked choke for the win.

However, B.J. 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 Emerson back.

Corey Hill, Ruediger's initial opponent, picked him to fight.

The first round belonged to Hill as Emerson had problems getting inside and dealing with his substantial reach advantage.

In the second round, Emerson was able to take a shot at Hill and get out of range effectively.

He even locked in a heel hook when the action hit the mat, earning him the round and forcing the bout to a third and deciding stanza.

In the third, both fighters spent most of their time circling each other, and while Emerson appeared to score the most effective blows of the round with kicks to the leg, the decision went to Hill, who put Team Pulver back in the win column and in control heading into episode seven.

Emerson faced fellow Team Penn teammate, Gray Maynard, on the undercard of The Ultimate Fighter 5 Finale.

Maynard dominated in the first round (the only effective work of Emerson's being a flying knee and a takedown).

The second round began with Gray picking up Emerson and slamming him to the canvas.

Due to an aggravated injury of the ribs, Emerson submitted.

During the fall, however, Maynard accidentally spiked himself on the floor and seemingly rendered himself unconscious.

The bout was declared a no-contest.

In his next fight at UFC 81, Emerson won a split decision over Keita Nakamura.

Nakamura dropped Emerson with a knee at the end of the first round after Emerson had outstruck him for much of the round.

Emerson came back strong in the second round, landing crisp combinations that left Nakamura's face a mess.

Nakamura scored takedowns in the third round on a visibly tiring Emerson, but it was not enough to win him the split decision as the scores read (30–27, 28–29, and 30–27) in favor of Emerson.

At UFC 87, Emerson knocked out Manvel Gamburyan in only 12 seconds, earning him "Knockout of the Night" honors.

His next fight at UFC Fight Night: Lauzon vs. Stephens was against Kurt Pellegrino.

Emerson lost the fight at 3:14 of the second round due to submission (rear naked choke); the first submission loss of Emerson's professional career.

Emerson was scheduled to fight George Sotiropoulos at UFC 101 but was forced to withdraw because of a hand injury and was replaced by George Roop.

2009

Emerson lost at UFC 103 by decision to Rafael dos Anjos on September 19, 2009.

He agreed to the contest after Matt Wiman was forced to withdraw after suffering a knee injury.

2010

Emerson next faced Phillipe Nover on February 6, 2010, at UFC 109 and won a unanimous decision.

Emerson faced Nik Lentz at UFC Fight Night 21.

He lost via unanimous decision and was released from his UFC contract.

Emerson defeated Rodney Rhoden by TKO in round one at Pure Combat 12.

Emerson faced Eric Reynolds at AOF 10 on December 4, 2010.

He won the fight via split decision.
