Josh Emmett vs Lerone Murphy Prediction & Picks - UFC Fight Night

Prediction published on 4/3/25, 10:44 AM  by Stephen Abiola | Modified on 4/4/25 at 3:55 AM in UFC Picks

Josh Emmett (19-4-0) will face Lerone Murphy (15-0-1) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday night. It’s an intriguing UFC featherweight clash featuring a fading veteran and an exciting young prospect. The 40-year-old Emmet will be keen to show the world that “father time” has not yet caught up with him and that he has a lot of fight in him. He hasn’t fought since December 2023, when he defeated Bryce Mitchell via KO/TKO punch. “CC0” will have a point to prove.

Lerone Murphy, on the other hand, is an undefeated martial artist with an impressive UFC record. The 33-year-old will proudly enter the Octagon with a 15-0-1 record to protect as he continues to climb the ranks in the division. In October 2024, “The Miracle” defeated Dan Ige via a unanimous decision to continue his red-hot form in the franchise. The last time he fell short of a win was in September 2019, when he shared the spoils with Zubaira Tukhugov.
