Lerone Murphy and Josh Emmett clashed in the octagon at UFC Fight Night, resulting in a tactical showdown where Murphy’s technical boxing outshone Emmett’s aggressive attempts.

Emmett, known for his power punches, struggled to corner Murphy throughout the fight, which saw Murphy effectively rack up a higher strike count. The fight took a turn when Emmett suffered early cuts from an accidental clash of heads, but he managed a highlight moment when he lifted Murphy and slammed him to the canvas in Round 2.

In the final round, a frustrated Emmett resorted to showboating, which opened him up for a counter from Murphy. The judges awarded Murphy the unanimous decision with scores of 48-47, 48-47, and 49-46, preserving his undefeated record at 16-0-1. Emmett, who dropped to 19-5, faces questions following his recent performance.
