UFC Vegas 105: Emmett vs. Murphy Main Card Staff Picks
Briefly

Josh Emmett made his comeback in the UFC after a year-long break aimed at recapturing his fighting form, having previously noted he wasn't competing at 100%. His last fight, a decisive victory over Bryce Mitchell, highlighted his potential, although he faced top opponents without his full intensity. Emmett's opponent, Lerone Murphy, remains unbeaten, with a draw against Zubaira Tukhugov as his closest challenge in the UFC. UFC Vegas 105 showcased various matchups, with predictions indicating a competitive main event between Emmett and Murphy, leaning slightly in favor of Emmett.
Emmett's hiatus from the sport was a self-imposed break to rediscover his competitive edge, rather than due to injury or flaws in his performance.
Despite his absence, Emmett returns to face the undefeated Lerone Murphy, who has seen steady progress since his UFC debut.
