The UFC put forth multiple thrilling fights in the month of March 2025, capping off things with an exciting show in Mexico City, Mexico. The premier MMA organization is set to put forth various stacked cards in the month of April 2025 as well.

The organization's most recent main roster fight card transpired in Mexico City, Mexico. The final card of March saw former UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno secure a unanimous decision victory against one-time UFC flyweight title challenger Steve Erceg.

Well, the UFC's next stop would be its return to home turf, in Las Vegas, for a UFC Fight Night event.

Is there a UFC fight tonight (April 5, 2025)?

The UFC Vegas 105 (aka UFC on ESPN: Emmett vs. Murphy) event is booked to go down at the UFC's Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A. It'll start with its prelims at 6 pm ET / 3 pm PT on Saturday, April 5, 2025. The main card starts at 9 pm ET / 6 pm PT.

The event's headlining match pits knockout artist Josh Emmett against England's Lerone Murphy. America's Emmett hasn't competed since December 2023, where he secured a thunderous knockout victory against Bryce Mitchell. Prior to that, he'd suffered back-to-back defeats against Yair Rodriguez and Ilia Topuria.

On the other hand, Lerone Murphy has gone from strength to strength in his UFC career. The undefeated Englishman's latest octagon outing ended with him defeating Dan Ige via unanimous decision in October 2024. A victory for Murphy, especially against a divisional staple like Emmett, could prove to be a massive boost en route to the top of the food chain.
