Josh Emmett is scheduled to headline UFC Vegas 105 against Lerone Murphy, breaking fan expectations for a rematch with Bryce Mitchell. Emmett, with a record of 19-4, is looking to bounce back after a knockout win against Mitchell in December 2023. At 39, he is ranked #8 in the featherweight division and is under pressure due to his age. Murphy, undefeated at 15-0-1, holds the #11 spot and has showcased his skill with a recent decision victory over Dan Ige. The fight will take place on April 5, 2025, at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, featuring a full card of match-ups.
While fight fans were recently all but begging for a Josh Emmett vs. Bryce Mitchell rematch, it appears the UFC had other plans.
Josh Emmett has not competed since his thunderous December 2023 knockout of Mitchell at UFC 296 and remains ranked #8 in the promotion's official featherweight rankings.
Murphy, who has yet to taste defeat in his professional career, sits in the #11 spot.
