Josh Emmett and Lerone Murphy seek a statement win in the wide-open featherweight division. Emmett and Murphy headline UFC Fight Night on Saturday, one week before Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes fight for control of the vacant featherweight title.

Back in May 2024, Murphy was given the chance to headline his first UFC event, taking on of the most seasoned and respected names in the featherweight division, Edson Barbosa. It was a big opportunity for Murphy, and he made sure to make the most of it.

The official weigh-in results for UFC on ESPN 65 are in, with the Josh Emmett vs. Lerone Murphy main event now official, while one fighter had a massive miss.
