The next UFC Fight Night show isn’t too far away as Josh Emmett vs Lerone Murphy headlines on Saturday, April 5th at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

Not only does this compelling featherweight contest headline UFC Fight Night: Emmett vs Murphy, but there are several other 50/50 fights on the bill prior to the big one in the main event.

Josh Emmett is currently ranked #8 at featherweight, with Lerone Murphy the #10 ranked 145-pound contender according to the latest UFC Rankings.

Despite being the lower ranked fighter, the best online bookmakers are favouring Murphy to beat Emmett here at the UFC Apex. The British featherweight is of course undefeated, which is one reason why he is being heavily favoured to beat the UFC veteran.

However, write Emmett off at your peril. He is coming into this bout fresh off the back of a chilling knockout over Bryce Mitchell last time out. He is a big puncher and is most definitely capable of winning this fight if he’s on song.

UFC President Dana White is serving up a treat for fans with this epic UFC Fight Night: Emmett vs Murphy card. What a treat MMA fans are in for this weekend in Las Vegas!
