Headlining the 12-fight event are featherweight contenders Edson
Barboza
and Lerone
Murphy
. Both main event fighters came in under the 146-pound
limit, and the five-round fight is now official. All other fighters
also successfully made weight, keeping the card intact.

This marks the fifth main event for Barboza (24-11), who has gone
1-3 in prior outings. However, the Brazilian is on a winning streak
after knocking out Billy
Quarantillo
with a devastating knee and winning a clear
decision over Sodiq
Yusuff
. The 38-year-old looks to go on one final run and came
in at 145.5 pounds.

Meanwhile, this is the first headlining fight for „The Miracle.“
Murphy (13-0-1) is undefeated inside the Octagon and has won five
straight fights since debuting with a split draw against Zubaira
Tukhugov
. Since then, the English fighter has picked up key
wins over Joshua
Culibao
, Gabriel
Santos
and his own vicious knee KO of Makwan
Amirkhani
. The 32-year-old stepped on the scale weighing 146
pounds on the dot.

UFC Fight Night 241 will air in its entirety on ESPN+ on Saturday.
Prelims begin at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT, while the main card starts at
7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
