Josh Emmett just had maybe the most amount of elevation on a takedown I’ve seen in the UFC.

How do you have it scored ?
2-0 Murphy
1-1 split
2-Emmett

— Josh Thomson (@THEREALPUNK) April 6, 2025

Jason Herzog already warned Lerone Murphy about the fingers being extended and then the eye poke happens.

And Herzog just warns him that he'll take a point IF he does it again. Awful.#UFCVegas105

Herzog boutta give Murphy the sternest warning of all-time #UFCVegas105

Another close round, but I have it 30-27 Murphy. I feel he's had the bigger, cleaner strikes land in each round.

You know who really needs a shoutout? Jason Herzog. All time great referee. Clear, concise, and fair. #UFC

Good round 4 for Emmett, landed more of his power shots. 39-37 Murphy, but it could be closer. #UFCVegas105

— Seán Sheehan (@SeanSheehanBA) April 6, 2025

Emmett almost pausing when he gets Murphy where he wants up against the cage then goes for another takedown there… gotta be frustrating if you’re in his corner, but Murphy is also fighting very well and disciplined tonight. #UFCVegas105
