Josh Emmett and Kevin Vallejos are set to compete in a crucial featherweight bout on Saturday night in Las Vegas at UFC Fight Night, taking place at the Meta APEX.
Emmett is in dire need of a win, having faced a challenging streak with a record of just 1-4 in his last five bouts. The 41-year-old will battle against the 24-year-old Vallejos, who has been on an impressive six-fight winning streak since suffering his only professional loss on Dana White’s Contender Series back in 2023.
In addition, the co-main event will feature a match between women’s strawweights Gillian Robertson and Amanda Lemos. Robertson, with a remarkable performance record of 6-1 in her last seven fights, is coming off a significant TKO victory against Marina Rodriguez and is on the path towards a title challenge. In contrast, Lemos has shown inconsistency with alternating wins and losses, losing her last fight by decision to Tatiana Suarez.
The event will be broadcast live, starting at 8 p.m. ET for the main card, with prelims beginning at 5 p.m. ET. Fans can stream it live on Paramount+, with subscriptions available starting at $8.99 a month. Subscribers will have access to live events in multiple languages and a plethora of UFC content on demand.
