The vacant 145-pound title will be up for grabs at UFC 314. Lerone Murphy gives his take on who will leave as champ of his division.

Murphy improved to 16-0-1, keeping his undefeated record intact. Emmett (19-5) has lost three of his last four fights. Murphy (No. 10) will likely move up the UFC's official featherweight rankings on Monday at Emmett's (No. 8) expense.

Lerone Murphy edged closer to a shot at the UFC featherweight title on Saturday, outpointing Josh Emmett with a “masterclass” in Las Vegas. Murphy was a 49-46, 48-47, 48-47 over Emmett in their Fight Night main event, as he neutralised the threat of the known power puncher over five rounds.
