9 p.m. ET: Main Card | 6 p.m. ET: Prelims
UFC returns to Las Vegas with UFC Fight Night presented by Bud Light: Emmett vs. Murphy live from UFC APEX on Saturday, April. The main card begins at 9 p.m. ET, preceded by prelims starting at 6 p.m. ET, both available on ESPN+, ESPN, ESPN Deportes, and SiriusXM Fight Nation.
Main Event:
- Top 10 featherweights Josh Emmett (19-4) and Lerone Murphy (15-0-1) square off in the main event with divisional stakes on the line. Emmett, a longtime contender known for his knockout power, returns for the first time since his highlight-reel finish of Bryce Mitchell at UFC 296. Murphy, unbeaten through eight UFC appearances, looks to keep his perfect record intact and continue his rise after back-to-back wins over Edson Barboza and Dan Ige.
Co-Main Event:
- Featherweights Pat Sabatini (19-5) and Joanderson Brito (17-4-1) collide in the co-main event. Sabatini looks to build on his first-round submission win over Jonathan Pearce and make the most of his first UFC co-main event opportunity. Brito, a Dana White Contender Series alum known for his aggression and finishing ability, aims to rebound from a competitive decision loss and add another notable name to his résumé. With both men seeking to break into the divisional conversation, this bout could have major implications at 145 pounds.
