The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to the familiar confines of the Meta APEX for UFC Vegas 114, headlined by a featherweight clash between division mainstay Josh Emmett and Argentinian knockout artist Kevin Vallejos.
Clinging onto his No. 11 ranking, Emmett will look to stop himself from sliding further down the list when he meets Vallejos, a surging contender currently occupying the No. 14 spot. Vallejos enters the bout riding a six-fight win streak, including highlight-reel finishes against Seung Woo Choi and Giga Chikadze.
Meanwhile, Emmett steps into the Octagon determined to snap a two-fight skid after coming up short against Lerone Murphy and Youssef Zalal.
Rounding out the top of the card is a battle of top 10 strawweights when Gillian Robertson meets Amanda Lemos. Also on tap is the return of ‘Action Man’ Chris Curtis and unbeaten bantamweight prospect Bia Mesquita.
