(ALSO SEE: Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for Lerone Murphy after UFC on ESPN 65 win?)

Josh Emmett promised a refreshed and superior form in the UFC on ESPN 65 main event against Lerone Murphy, but it did not play out that way.

After a health-oriented hiatus that lasted nearly 16 months, Emmett (19-5 MMA, 10-5 UFC) returned and dropped a unanimous decision to undefeated Murphy (16-0-1 MMA, 8-0-1 UFC) in Saturday’s featherweight headliner at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, putting a wrench in his title aspirations.

At 40 and coming off a tough defeat, what does the future hold for Emmett at 145 pounds? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on his future after UFC on ESPN 65.
