No. 11-ranked Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Featherweight Josh Emmett takes on rising hot prospect and No. 13-seeded Kevin Vallejos in the main event of UFC Vegas 114, which will take place next month (Sat., March 14, 2026) inside the Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Today, the promotion released UFC Vegas 114’s promotional poster on social media.
As for the matchup itself, it’s a classic veteran-versus-prospect clash.
Emmett (19-6) is attempting to halt a two-fight skid and has dropped four of his last five bouts. Most recently, the 40-year-old was submitted in under two minutes (watch highlights). Still, the longtime contender believes he has the power and experience to derail one of the division’s hottest up-and-comers.
That rising contender would be Vallejos (17-1), a 24-year-old wrecking ball riding a six-fight winning streak. His lone career loss came to Jean Silva on Contender Series. Since then, Vallejos has gone 3-0 inside the Octagon with two finishes, including a highlight-reel knockout of Giga Chikadze that earned him a spot in the rankings (watch highlights).
