Command Analysis
Josh Emmett
USACurrent form
Josh Emmett is a guy with character who has been tempered not only by the gym and sparring, but also by life itself. Twice he tried on the championship belt of the California league West Coast Fighting Championship. And when he was lifted over his head for the second time in 2016, he received a call from the world's largest and noisiest organization, the UFC.
Since then, as they say, it's gone. Although the road was not smooth at all for Emmett in the octagon. The last three fights are like a roller coaster in an amusement park: up, down, and sometimes with your eyes closed.
Last December, Josh knocked out Bryce Mitchell in a beautiful, impressive, manly way-and he did it in the first round. But before that, he stumbled twice — he lost to the powerful Georgian Ilie Topuria on points and the Mexican Yair Rodriguez with a painful reception.
At the moment, the 40-year-old veteran from Arizona has 19 wins (7 by knockouts, 10 by decisions of judges and 2 by receptions) and 4 defeats. He is eighth in the UFC featherweight rankings. And he has a purple belt in Brazilian jiu—jitsu in his arsenal, which is rare in this weight class.
Interesting betting trends
Josh's takedowns are not always successful — the success rate is 38%.
But if it hits, put out the light: he finished his opponents 7 times already in the first round.

But Leron Murphy is a completely different story. A guy from Manchester who chose the path of a fighter instead of a dull football in the rain. In 2019, he took the belt of the British promotion Full Contact Contender, and then he was noticed in the UFC.
The first match was a draw with the dangerous Russian Zubaira Tukhugov. And then a series of victories began, as if by notes: six in a row. The opponents are different, the styles are different, but the result is the same — Murphy's hand is up.
The Briton's latest victim is the sturdy American Dan Ige, whom Leron beat on points in the fall of 2024. Before that, Gabriel Santos, Edson Barbosa and Joshua Coulibao. They all know what it's like to spend 15 minutes with an Ice Man.
The 33-year—old Murphy has 15 wins (7 by knockouts, 8 by judges' decisions). So far, no defeats. And it's impressive. He ranks tenth in the UFC rankings. And he also has a purple belt in jiu-jitsu in his arsenal.
Interesting betting trends
Leron's takedowns are much better, with a success rate of 54%.

Without any tricks — the bookmakers believe in Murphy. Yes, he's younger, faster, and maybe fresher. But, my friends, writing Emmett off is like not believing in the experience of an old sailor on the waves of the UFC. After all, this may be the last time for Josh to enter the cage at this level. And believe me, the veteran will not come as an extra. You can expect real cutting from him. It's better to bet in this fight that it won't reach the judges. Two dangerous drummers will come together in the cage, and both like to solve problems ahead of schedule. And together they have 16 wins between them before the final gong.
