JOSH EMMET vs LERONE MURPHY
Featherweight – Main Event:
Josh Emmet is an American fighter known for his clean striking and insane stamina. He has fought in the UFC for nearly 9 years, stepping into the octagon 14 times. Of his 14 fights he has been victorious 10 times while losing the remaining 4.
His form over the last few years has been solid and he has won 3 of his 5 most recent fights, with both of his losses being against extremely talented opponents.
It is important to note he has not fought in over a year with his last bout taking place in December 2023 where he beat Bryce Mitchell by round 1 knockout.
Lerone Murphy, fighting out of England, has had a very successful career within the institution and although he drew his debut back in 2019, he has won the rest of his fights since then and currently sits on a 7-fight winning streak.
The majority of his wins have been by decision which proves he is an incredible athlete, however he has also been seen winning by knockout which shows he can be a dangerous striker too.
The last time he fought was when he met with Dan Ige in October and won by decision after 3 rounds.

Emmet 3.60
Murphy 1.30
PREDICTION:
I believe that both fighters have it in them to go the distance but with Murphy coming into this bout as the fresher fighter I think he gets enough done across the 5 rounds to win via decision.

PAT SABATINI vs JOANDERSON BRITO
Featherweight – Co-Main Event:
Pat Sabatini is an American fighter who possesses talent in the field of grappling. He had a flawless start to his UFC career and won his first 4 fights, however his recent form has been inconsistent, and he has won 2 and lost 2 fights since 2022.
Although he has been on shaky form over recent years, he bounced back with a round 1 submission win in October when he went head-to-head with Jonathan Pearce.
Joanderson Brito is a Brazilian born mixed martial artist who specializes in submission and efficient striking. He made his debut within the organization in 2022 and since then he has fought 7 times, winning 5 and losing the remaining 2.
After losing his debut fight, he went on a 5-fight winning streak which was unfortunately broken by William Gomis who beat Brito by decision in September.

Sabatini 2.88
Brito 1.44
PREDICTION:
I think this will be a well-balanced fight early on but as the fight commences, Brito will gain control and eventually win via submission in round 3.
CORTAVIOUS ROMIOUS vs CHANGHO LEE
Bantamweight Fight:
Cortavious Romious, fighting out of America is a grappler with very little UFC Experience. He made his debut in November when he took on Gaston Bolanos and lost by decision and prior to this he fought twice in the Dana White Contender Series, losing the first fight and winning the second.
He will be looking to get back on track with a win this weekend.
Changho Lee is a Korean fighter who is also very inexperienced when it comes to fighting at the highest level. He has also fought just once within the UFC, making his debut in June 2024 where he beat Xiao Long by decision to win the Road to UFC’s second season.
