The full card for the UFC Vegas 92 event, headlined by featherweights Edson Barboza and Lerone Murphy, has been confirmed.
The event will take place on May 18th at UFC APEX in Las Vegas, where Barboza will face Murphy in a five-round main event. Barboza is currently ranked 12th in the featherweight division in the UFC and is coming off a unanimous decision win over Sodiq Yousaf last October. Murphy has not fought since his unanimous decision win over Joshua Culibao in July.
The co-main event will feature a three-round flyweight scrap between Ultimate Fighter 24 winner Tim Elliott and undefeated prospect Akira Hirata. Elliott is currently ranked No. 9 in the UFC flyweight division and most recently competed at UFC Vegas 83 in December by submission to Sue Mudaelji. Taira also competed that night, stopping Carlos Hernandez with a punch.
Adrian Yanez also returns to the cage to face Vinicius Salvador in a bantamweight bout, undefeated light heavyweight Umar Sy makes his promotional debut against Rodolfo Bellator, and former Fight Night headliner Abs. Magomedov will face longtime veteran Wally Alves in a middleweight bout. Additionally, top-15 strawweight Angela Hill will face top-10 strawweight Luana Pinheiro in a key match at 115 pounds.
