Just saw that Josh Emmett is making his return against Lerone Murphy on April 5 at the UFC APEX. This matchup really caught my attention.
I’ve followed Emmett for years — dude hits like a truck. But Murphy is still unbeaten and looked super sharp against Dan Ige. I feel like this fight is getting slept on, and it could steal the show that night.
What do you all think? Can Emmett use his experience and power to stop Murphy, or is this the moment Murphy breaks into the top tier?
I wrote a quick preview about it if anyone wants to check it out:
