UFC Vegas 114: Emmett vs. Vallejos – Prelim Results and Highlights
Returning to the Meta APEX in Las Vegas, UFC Vegas 114 featured a hard-hitting headliner between a pair of featherweight standouts.
After delivering a decade of highlight-reel knockouts inside the Octagon, 41-year-old Josh Emmett will look to climb his way back up the 145-pound rankings after slipping to No. 11 following back-to-back losses in his last two outings. Standing in the way of a much-needed victory will be Argentinian knockout artist Kevin Vallejos.
‘El Chino’ rides into his first UFC main event on a six-fight win streak, including impressive finishes against Seung Woo Choi and Giga Chikadze.
But before we get to the evening’s main card, we’ve got results and highlights from eight prelim bouts, including the return of ‘Action Man’ Chris Curtis and undefeated bantamweight prospect Bia Mesquita.
