The featherweight headlining event saw Lerone Murphy remain unbeaten in a top-10 showdown, displaying crisp boxing over 25 minutes while surviving Josh Emmett’s heavy wrestling base at UFC Fight Night on Saturday night in Las Vegas.
Murphy (16-0-1 MMA), who won 48-47, 48-47, 49-46, kept his upcoming objectives simple: securing at least two fights this year while keeping his name in the mix for a featherweight title shot later this year.
“Easy work,” Murphy said. “Easy work.”
Emmett (19-5 MMA) had been absent from the Octagon since December 2023.
Pat Sabatini (20-5 MMA) needed all but three minutes of ground control time to win a lopsided unanimous decision over Joanderson Brito (17-5-1 MMA) in the co-headliner at featherweight (30-26, 30-26, 30-27).
The next two fights saw Brad Tavares and Chang Ho Lee win their respective middleweight and bantamweight bouts against Gerald Meerschaert (37-19 MMA) and Cortavious Romious (9-4 MMA). Tavares (21-10 MMA) earned a unanimous decision win while Ho Lee (11-1 MMA) needed under two rounds to secure the mount position and earn a stoppage win.
Ode Osbourne made short work of Luis Gurule with a second-round TKO in a flyweight bout with a series of punches before the fight was eventually called off. Osboune (13-8 MMA) handed Gurule (10-1 MMA) his first career loss, while Osboune snapped a three-fight skid.
Middleweight Torrez Finney opened the UFC Vegas 105 main card with a split-decision win over Robert Valentin to earn his first promotional win. Finney (11-0 MMA) took the cards 27-30, 29-28, 29-28, as Valentin (10-5 MMA) has lost back-to-back fights.
