Josh Emmett vs Kevin Vallejos FULL FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS UFC Vegas 114

March 14, 2026 UFC Vegas 114 delivered a huge statement in the featherweight division as rising contender Kevin Vallejos scored a spectacular first‑round knockout over veteran Josh Emmett in the main event at the UFC Apex. The 24‑year‑old Argentine prospect showcased elite speed, timing, and finishing ability as he overwhelmed Emmett early in the fight. Vallejos dropped the veteran once before delivering the decisive sequence that ended the bout at 3:33 of Round 1, forcing the referee to step in and stop the contest. Despite Emmett’s experience and durability — having previously fought for an interim featherweight title — he struggled to keep up with Vallejos’ explosive combinations and sharp counters. Each time Emmett attempted to engage in striking exchanges, Vallejos intercepted him with precise punches and superior speed. After recovering from the first knockdown, Emmett attempted to rally, but Vallejos quickly caught him again and swarmed with punches to secure the first‑round TKO victory. The win further cements Vallejos as one of the most dangerous rising prospects in the featherweight division. Now riding a six‑fight winning streak, Vallejos has finished 14 of his 18 professional wins by knockout, showcasing the type of power that has already begun drawing comparisons to two‑division UFC champion Ilia Topuria. Even with the impressive victory, Vallejos remained humble in the post‑fight interview, praising Emmett for his toughness and declining to call out a specific opponent. The fight also featured a notable 17‑year age difference, with Vallejos (24) facing Emmett (41), making it one of the largest age gaps ever seen in a UFC main event.
