Josh Emmett, after more than a year away from fighting, is set to face Lerone Murphy in the main event of UFC Vegas 105. Emmett, ranked #8 in the featherweight division, imposed the layoff on himself to work towards reclaiming his best form after feeling he had not been competing at his peak. He expressed excitement about returning to the octagon and highlighted his readiness for this critical moment in his career, aware of the implications for the vacant title in his weight class.
I'm excited to get back in there and show the world who I am. The last time you guys saw me out here was December of 23. It seems like forever, but at the same time it went by so quick.
I owed it to myself, my coaches, my wife, my family, the fans, the UFC- the last handful of years I haven't been fighting at my best, I've been fighting at a fraction of myself.
