Josh Emmett finds it hard to comprehend why he is so far behind Lerone Murphy at UFC Vegas 105.
Since knocking out Bryce Mitchell in December 2023, Emmett has not competed. Emmett is a +240 underdog, which he doesn’t understand, even though he is competing against a lower-ranked opponent. He claims that he enjoys that, though, because he wants all of his admirers to profit off him.
“Vegas enjoy making money.” I adore it. It seems like my pals who bet on me enjoy it when I’m a big underdog. +275? “Bet the house,” Emmett declared on the media day for UFC Vegas 105.
Emmett’s power contributes to his inability to comprehend why he is such a significant underdog. Josh Emmett believes he has made tremendous progress during his recovery and will be able to defeat Lerone Murphy at UFC Vegas 105.
Emmett remarked, “I feel like I haven’t been at my best in every fight; I was getting worse.” However, I’ll tell you now: We’ve been working on my power and everything for the past 14 months, and I can assure you that I’ve gained a great deal of power. Thus, hold off till that right hand makes contact.
Given his reputation for KO power, Emmett is sure he can land another one on Saturday night.
Josh Emmett intends to use UFC Vegas 105 to make a statement
Josh Emmett’s goal at UFC Vegas 105 is to raise his hand and demonstrate that he is still a title contender against Lerone Murphy.
Emmett believes he will have a victory that makes a statement on Saturday night, and he plans to achieve just that.
“I’ve never been in a boring fight,” Emmett said. “I know what the UFC wants to see. I know what the fans want to see. They’re excited when I’m on a card because every strike I throw, I’m trying to finish the fight. I don’t think I have to go out there and make a statement, but I’m going to. The goal is to be a world champion. That’s always the goal.”
Emmett is 19-4 as a pro and coming off the KO win over Bryce Mitchell.
