One of the best featherweight contenders was not prepared for the demolition machine that came well for him.
In the main event of UFC Vegas 105, Josh Emmett faces Lerone Murphy while the American seems to win his 11th victory in the Octagon.
The unbeaten Murphy has won seven-in-one-row in featherweight, but 'The Miracle' has never confronted with an opponent with the kind of destructive power that brings his next opponent to the table.
Since the signing at the UFC in 2016, Emmett has produced some of the most devastating knockouts we have ever seen.
Pension is not even a consideration for the 40-year-old Emmett, because on 5 April he wants to add a peak to his already impressive reel.

Josh Emmett announced himself as an important player at 145 pounds by sleeping Ricardo Lamas
Josh Emmett made his debut in the UFC in 2016 as lightweight before he dropped to featherweight, with 3-1 in his first four outings that were all determined by the jury members.
The Alpha Male Fighter team had built up a record of 8-0 with three victories due to knockout before he arrived in the Octagon, but Vechtfans had not seen anything yet.
After winning his first victory at 145 pounds, Emmett got a big chance in December 2017, where the UFC received its first taste of the frightening power that the American owns.
Ricardo Lamas had produced back-to-back victories over Charles Oliveira and Jason Knight to claim the #3 ranking order after a loss for Max Holloway on UFC 199.

Emmett missed the weight for the fight, which means that he had to make a statement to leave it behind and he did exactly that with the best performance of his career at the time.
Both men were successful on the feet in the opening round, but with 30 seconds left on the clock, Lamas became the first UFC hunter to find out about the dangers of trade with Emmett.
The non -long -arranged competitor unleashed a devastating left hook that fell his opponent after he had come behind a large right hand.
One shot was everything that was needed to close the show and since then the Feedweight Division has taken note of one of the most dangerous One-Punch strikers in UFC history.
For the first time in his career, Emmett would be put in a loss for Jeremy Stephens before he reminded everyone of what he is able to do with a characteristic knockout about Michael Johnson.
Lerone Murphy runs on April 5 in a minefield
Lerone Murphy has also proven to be a dangerous striker in the featherweight division of the UFC, but he does not have the same one-shot power that Josh Emmett does.
Although the Brit is perhaps the more diverse and accurate striker, he will be well aware that his opponent can end the fight in an instant.
Murphy has overcome a number of difficult moments in the octhoek, but the danger with Emmett is that when he lands, you don't even get the chance to recover.
'The Miracle' will have to be sharp at all times if he will not prevent him from becoming a different trademark finish on his opponent's record.
