The UFC’s return to Orlando has a main event.
Featherweight contenders Josh Emmett and Jeremy Stephens will square off in the UFC on FOX 28 main event next month, the Orlando Sentinel reported Thursday. BloodyElbow.com confirmed the bout with Emmett, but the UFC has yet to announce the news.
Emmett (13-1) is coming off the biggest win of his career, a first-round knockout of Ricardo Lamas at UFC on FOX 26 in Winnipeg last month. He was a sizable underdog against “The Bully,” a former UFC title challenger.
