Security Intervenes After Lerone Murphy Almost Confronts Heckler as Win Against Josh Emmett Faces Fans’ Judgment

Lerone Murphy vs. Josh Emmett was hyped as a clash of power vs. precision. The undefeated Brit stepped into the UFC Apex against the former interim title challenger, both aiming to make a statement. Murphy got the win, but the performance didn’t sit well with fans. Many felt the fight lacked urgency, accusing Murphy of playing it too safe. As the fight ended in a decision, a fan even echoed, “He shouldn’t even be near a PPV main card.” Harsh—but in this sport, style matters. So, what went wrong? Let’s break it down.

Josh Emmett is known for knocking out his opponents cold; his last fight against Bryce Mitchell was nearly perfect in terms of striking. However, Lerone Murphy had other thoughts in his mind when it came to facing Emmett. The undefeated Brit landed some picture-perfect shots, including a spinning back kick to Emmett, but the MMA community believes that other than running away from Emmett’s punches and striking at the right time, Murphy didn’t do anything.

As the judges scored the fight in his favor, a fan shouted, “You didn’t win,” prompting the fighter to move toward the commotion. However, security intervened and pulled him away from the scene. The incident was recorded by fans and has since sparked a heated debate—largely against Murphy.

“Back paddled most the fight, really wasn’t an impressive win. Could have gone either way though.”

“Wow I think he lost every fan but bisping”

“Right decision, but Lerone shouldnt touch a PPV main card ever.”

“49-46? Who was that?”

“Very close fight it could’ve gone either way but I got Josh cuz Murphy ran the whole time”

“Running simulator”
