The UFC is back in its "Sin City" home base this week with UFC on ESPN 65 in Las Vegas.

In the main event, Josh Emmett (19-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) takes on unbeaten featherweight Lerone Murphy (15-0-1 MMA, 7-0-1 UFC), who is about a 3-1 favorite to keep his unbeaten record intact.

The promotion has released a preview/hype video ahead of Saturday's headliner, and it features prominently Emmett's most recent win: a brutal finish of Bryce Mitchell.
