UFC Fight Night 241—the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s only UFC Apex event of the month—will go down on Saturday in Las Vegas. An electric featherweight showdown between Edson Barboza and Lerone Murphy headlines the 12-bout slate, which serves as a fitting sendoff before the action shifts to the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, for UFC 302 on May 25.
For the first time in three years, Barboza enters the cage on a two-fight win streak. The dynamic Brazilian striker rebounded from losses to Giga Chikadze and Bryce Mitchell with victories over Billy Quarantillo and Sodiq Yusuff.
