UFC Fight Night: Emmett vs. Murphy preview, full card & best fights

The UFC returns to the APEX warehouse this weekend for a dynamite featherweight fight.

Britain's Murphy looks to extend his undefeated record with a win over a big name in Emmett, a truly vicious knockout artist riding the high of flatlining Bryce Mitchell in his last fight.

While the APEX venue disappoints fight fans, there is still plenty to look forward to on the card.

UFC Vegas 105 main event: Murphy vs Emmett

In our main event, Emmett looks to rewind the clocks and hand Murphy his first defeat in 16 professional fights.

'The Miracle' Murphy has been in the UFC for six years and rides a 16 fight unbeaten streak. Despite this, he hasn't had his breakthrough moment, owing to his 71 percent decision rate.

Emmett serves to be a great litmus test for the Brit - a hard-hitting, durable five-rounder who can test Murphy's chin as well as his grit.

UFC Vegas 105 co-main event: Brito vs. Sabatini

Another baffling addition to the APEX card is Joanderson Brito vs. Pat Sabatini. Brito is pure value for entertainment possessing an 88 percent finishing rate. 'Tubarao' (shark) was riding a profilic run of four finishes before enduring a controversial split decision loss to William Gomis in 2024.

His opponent, Sabatini, is a grappling specialist looking to secure his first UFC winning streak since 2022. Sabatini will test the cardio and pace of Brito.
