In May, Emmett will celebrate his 10-year anniversary with the UFC, and in his decade in the octagon, the 41-year-old has accomplished a lot. Emmett currently holds the UFC record for knockdowns in the 145-pound division and is also tied for the record for most consecutive bouts with a knockdown at seven, on top of having 10 wins in the promotion. But despite his accomplishments, Emmett is currently on the worst run of his career, having lost four of his past five fights, and another loss may send the knockout artist packing from the UFC.
One of the top prospects in MMA right now, Vallejos is still just 24 years old and already ranked No. 14 in the UFC’s featherweight division. “El Chino” nearly joined the UFC in 2023 after a competitive bout with Jean Silva on Contender Series, but punched his ticket a year later, and went 3-0 in his first year in the octagon last year, earning Breakout Fighter of the Year consideration, a ranking, and now this opportunity to launch into the featherweight Top 10.

Preamble
I’m not going to lie to y’all, UFC Vegas 114 has been great. This has easily been the most fun fight card of 2026 so far. Almost every fight was either a back-and-forth war or a cool finish. Can Emmett and Vallejos close the show in style? Let’s hope so.
