Featherweight striking sensations will collide at the UFC Apex when the hard-hitting Josh Emmett takes on the undefeated Lerone Murphy in the UFC Vegas 105 main event. Also, grappling expert Pat Sabatini fights Brazil’s Joanderson Brito.
UFC Vegas 105 Main Event
Having not competed since December 2023, Emmett will have a stern test put in front of him when he tries to take the zero from the surging Murphy. Considered to be the physically strongest athlete in the featherweight class, the former UFC title challenger will be looking to reassert himself with a vintage victory this Saturday in UFC Vegas 105.
Hailing from Manchester, England, Murphy has enjoyed an eight-bout unbeaten streak since joining the promotion in 2019. With recent dominant wins over veterans in Edson Barboza and Dan Ige, “The Miracle” has the opportunity to continue his quest of gold by bringing down another 145-lb stalwart.

Jumping into the company in 2021 after winning the CFFC featherweight strap, Sabatini has racked up a divisional record of 6-2, with his only setbacks coming against Damon Jackson and Diego Lopes. Possessing a strong submission ability, the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt has proven to be a true threat on the ground for most of his UFC opposition.
Easily standing as one of the more notable finishers in the featherweight category, Joanderson Brito has collected five stoppage victories in his seven Octagon appearances, where none went past the second round. Seeking to get back into the win column after suffering a split decision defeat to William Gomis, “Tubarão” can kick off 2025 with a bang by conquering the deadly Sabatini.
