Emmers is a tall striker with good speed and movement. He is elusive, never stays in one place for long, and always has his head off the center line. He always kicks in range and then lunges inside to release his hand. Emmers is an excellent defensive grappler, defending 90% of his attempted takedowns in the UFC, averaging nearly two takedowns per 15 minutes. He can do damage from long range and in the pocket, and he does everything with incredible speed.
