The Octagon is back inside of their home base tonight with a 12-fight card as UFC on ESPN 65 takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The main event is an exciting featherweight contest as knockout artist Josh Emmett returns from a long layoff looking to hand undefeated Lerone Murphy his first career loss. Emmett is fighting for the first time since December 2023 where he scored one of the best knockouts in UFC history over Bryce Mitchell. Murphy is looking to keep his undefeated streak going after scoring a win over Dan Ige in his last fight in October. The rest of the main card is anchored by a featherweight bout between rising contenders Pat Sabatini and Joanderson Brito; a bantamweight bout between Cortavious Romious and ChangHo Lee; a battle of middleweight veterans as Brad Tavares takes on Gerald Meerschaert; and the debut of Torrez Finney, who scored three wins on Dana White’s Contender Series before getting signed, taking on Robert Valentin in middleweight action.
