Main event: Josh Emmett

Record: 19-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC

Opponent: Lerone Murphy (15-0-1 MMA, 7-0-1 UFC)

Division: Featherweight

Key wins: Bryce Mitchell, Calvin Kattar, Dan Ige, Shane Burgos, Mirsad Bektic, Ricardo Lamas

Misc.: Emmett is coming off what no doubt was a particularly satisfying result when he sent professed nazi and Hitler fan and sympathizer Bryce Mitchell into a deep enough realm that when he woke up and saw his shadow, it guaranteed at least six more years of him thinking the earth is flat. That snapped a two-fight skid to Ilia Topuria and Yair Rodriguez, the latter of which was in an interim title fight.

Main event: Lerone Murphy

Record: 15-0-1 MMA, 7-0-1 UFC

Opponent: Josh Emmett (19-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC)

Division: Featherweight

Key wins: Dan Ige, Edson Barboza,

Misc.: For the second time in three fights, England's Murphy is in a main event. His first, against Edson Barboza less than a year ago, was a Fight of the Night winner. His climb up the UFC ladder has been steady, but a win over Emmett with Barboza and Dan Ige the two before it would be a stellar resume notch.

Misc.: Brito had a five-fight winning streak snapped by a split decision loss to William Gomis in Paris this past September. The five wins before that all were stoppages, including two for post-fight bonus awards.

Record: 19-5 MMA, 6-2 UFC

Opponent: Joanderson Brito (17-4-1 MMA, 5-2 UFC)
