Things can change quickly in MMA. The last time the UFC visited Orlando, Fla., was December 19, 2015. At that time Josh Emmett was the West Coast Fighting Championship lightweight champion. On Saturday, Emmett meets Jeremy Stephens in the featherweight main event of UFC on FOX 28, which takes place at Amway Center.

In the co-main event, highly ranked women’s strawweight contenders Jessica Andrade and Tecia Torres do battle, hoping the winner will land a shot at either champion Rose Namajunas or former champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk.

Also on the main card is an important light heavyweight battle between the surging Ovince Saint Preux and the always tough Ilir Latifi.

UFC on FOX 28 airs on FOX following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.

Here are 10 reasons to watch:

1. Off the charts

Stephens made his featherweight debut at UFC 160. Less than a year later he had put together the first three-fight winning streak of his UFC career. That streak ended in June 2014, when he dropped a five-round decision to Cub Swanson. Stephens struggled after that loss. Between December 2014 and April 2017, he went 2-4. Now on a two-fight winning streak, both of which earned him “Fight of the Night” honors, Stephens’ confidence has to be soaring.

One could make the same observation regarding Emmett, who is the No. 12 fighter in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA featherweight rankings. Just two fights into his run as a UFC featherweight, the Team Alpha Male product is coming off the biggest win of his career, a first-round knockout of former title challenger Ricardo Lamas.

A win here isn’t likely to earn Stephens (27-14 MMA, 14-13 UFC), who is an honorable mention in the rankings, or Emmett (13-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) a title shot, but it could set one of these heavy-handed strikers up for a potential title eliminator.

2. A not so secret weapon

If you’re a fan of the strawweight division, you’re in luck. Nine of the top-15 ranked fighters in the division are booked to compete between UFC on FOX 28 and UFC 225 in June. In the middle of that stretch, current strawweight champion Namajunas faces ex-champ and current No.2 ranked contender Jedrzejczyk. There’s a strong chance the winner of the bout between No. 3 Andrade (17-6 MMA, 8-4 UFC) and No. 5 Torres (10-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) will move on to face the victor of that upcoming title fight.

Andrade is a significant favorite in this bout, but Torres does have a not so secret weapon in her camp. Her fiancée and coach, Raquel Pennington, has a 2015 submission win over Andrade.

3. Good timing

We’ve been waiting a long time for Saint Preux’s talent to catch up to his athleticism. With three finishes in a row and two consecutive “Performance of the Night” bonuses, it looks like that is finally happening.

From a divisional standpoint, Saint Preux’s surge couldn’t have come at a better time. With Alexander Gustafsson the only true contender for a light heavyweight title shot, a fourth straight win for Saint Preux, who is ranked No. 9 in the division, could put him one or two victories away from a title shot of his own.

Saint Preux (22-10 MMA, 10-5 UFC) faces rankings honorable mention Latifi (13-5 MMA, 6-3 UFC). Latifi might be at a significant height and reach disadvantage here, but he overcame similar numbers in his most recent fight, a decision win over Tyson Pedro.

4. You know what to expect

Mike Perry and Max Griffin each have attempted one takedown during their time with the UFC. Perry (11-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) has zero submission attempts in his six fights with the promotion, while Griffin (13-4 MMA, 1-2 UFC) has one in three UFC contests. It won’t be a shock to see these two welterweights engage in a standing battle in Orlando.

Both of these fighters love to slug it out, and both eat more strikes than they land. Defense is an afterthought when these two step into the octagon.

Perry is the biggest favorite on the fight card, but that doesn’t mean fans should consider being anywhere but in their seats for this bout, which opens the main card.

5. Don’t look back

Former bantamweight champ Renan Barao has had a rough go over the past three-plus years. His record since May 2014 is 2-4. During that run he lost his title, was forced from a title fight after passing out while cutting weight, moved to featherweight, and most recently he was denied the opportunity to fight at bantamweight by the California State Athletic Commission.

Barao (34-5 MMA, 9-4 UFC) hopes to put all that behind him when he faces Brian Kelleher (18-8 MMA, 2-1 UFC) at 135 pounds.

Ahead of this fight, Barao told MMAjunkie that he moved to American Top Team, addressed his weight issues, and is now focusing on getting another shot at the bantamweight crown. No longer ranked at 135 pounds, Barao needs a big comeback win in Orlando.

Kelleher, a former Ring of Combat champion, is 2-1 with the UFC. He earned fight-night bonus awards in both his victories.

6. Defense

Sara McMann has landed at least one takedown in 11 of her past 13 fights. The only fighters she hasn’t put on the mat are one-time bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey and current champion Amanda Nunes. McMann, a silver medalist in freestyle wrestling at the 2004 Olympics, didn’t attempt a takedown against Rousey. Nunes thwarted both of McMann’s attempts. All of this is just a long way of saying that Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Marion Reneau (8-3-1 MMA, 4-2-1 UFC) better have drilled takedown defense ahead of her fight with McMann (11-4 MMA, 5-4 UFC).

McMann has faced the best the UFC has to offer and before her most recent loss, a surprising submission defeat to Ketlen Vieira, she had lost to just Rousey, Nunes and Miesha Tate.

Like the Vieira fight, McMann, who is ranked the No. 11 ranked bantamweight, is the betting favorite in Orlando. If she wants another chance to get to the top of the division, she needs to halt the three-fight unbeaten streak of the No. 12 ranked Reneau, who is coming off a third-round TKO win over Talita Bernardo.

7. A new fighter and a new weight division

Marcin Prachnio was initially booked to face Jake Collier in Orlando. When an injury forced Collier from the card, Sam Alvey agreed to move to light heavyweight to face Prachnio. The change in opponent was probably one Prachnio was more than happy to agree to.

Where Collier is a grinder, Alvey (31-10 MMA, 8-5 UFC) is a counter striker and that suits Prachnio’s (13-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) style much better. The Polish fighter, who makes his UFC debut, has racked up 10 first-round knockout wins since turning pro in 2013. With a track record like that, expect Prachnio to blitz Alvey early and look to exploit the American fighter’s tendency to start slow.

8. Get that opportunity back

It was kind of a surprise to be reminded that Rani Yahya is only 33. Yahya has been with the WEC/UFC since 2007. During that time, he’s won eight fights by submission, five by decision and zero via knockout. The Brazilian is a specialist, but he’s an effective specialist. Yahya has lost only once in the past four years.

His August submission win over Henry Briones earned him a shot at a top-15 ranked opponent in Aljamain Sterling, but unfortunately for Yahya, an injury forced him from that December matchup.

Now healthy, Yahya (24-9 MMA, 9-3 UFC) faces Russell Doane (15-7 MMA, 3-4 UFC), who ended a four-fight losing streak in June with a first-round knockout win over Kwan Ho Kwak.

9. A chance to make some noise

Two young flyweights coming off victories look to make their way into the 125-pound rankings in Orlando. Alex Perez (19-4 MMA, 1-0 UFC), who through no fault of his own had to fight at bantamweight in his UFC debut, meets Eric Shelton (11-4 MMA, 1-2 UFC) in this prelim card matchup.

Statistically, these two match up reasonably well, but Perez, who is on a six-fight winning streak, showed a very aggressive ground game in his win over Carls John De Tomas. He used solid ground striking to set up three submission attempts on his way to a second-round anaconda choke submission win. Perez used that same choke to secure his UFC contract on the Dana White Contender Series 5 card.

Shelton opened his UFC run with two split decision losses. He scored his first win with the promotion in November when he bested Jenel Lausa by unanimous decision.

10. A debut to watch

Manny Bermudez was unstoppable on the local scene. The 23-year-old put together a perfect 10-0 record with eight of those wins coming by way of first-round stoppage. After he submitted Seth Basler in January at Cage Titans 37, he made it clear that his goal was to fight in the UFC’s bantamweight division.

“Dana White, you better sign me up, and you better sign me up quick, because I’m hurtin’ these little guys,” Bermudez said. “I want to get to the big guys. I want to be in your top 10.”

Less than a month after his win over Basler, Bermudez (10-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) puts his unblemished record on the line against Albert Morales (7-3-1 MMA, 1-3-1 UFC). The 26-year-old, who was 6-0 before joining the UFC, is 1-3-1 with the promotion.
