This article provides updates on the UFC Vegas 105 fight featuring Josh Emmett against Lerone Murphy. They are set to headline the featherweight division in the Fight Night event at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
Josh Emmett is making his return to the octagon after a 16-month break. His previous fight, a brutal knockout victory against Bryce Mitchell at UFC 296 in December 2023, is considered one of the most impactful knockouts in UFC history. This win stopped a two-fight losing streak against Yair Rodriguez and Ilia Topuria. This upcoming fight marks Emmett`s 15th appearance in the UFC.
Lerone Murphy boasts an undefeated record in his professional career, with 16 fights and a UFC record of 7 wins, 0 losses, and 1 draw. “The Miracle,” as he is known, will be headlining his second UFC event. He is coming off a decision victory over Dan Ige at UFC 308 in October. Prior to that, he secured a dominant decision win against Edson Barboza at UFC Vegas 92 in his first UFC main event.
