Per Haljestam-USA TODAY Sports

Lerone Murphy went the distance in a main-event featherweight fight on Saturday night, coming away with a victory by unanimous decision against Edson Barboza at UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas.

The cards read 49-46, 50-45, 50-45 in favor of Murphy (14-0-1), who has rattled off six straight wins after a draw with Zubaira Tukhugov on Sept. 7, 2019.

Barboza (24-12-0), on the other hand, saw a two-fight winning streak come to an end.

In welterweight action, it took Khaos Williams (15-3-0) just 1:30 to knock out Carlston Harris (19-6-0). Adrian Yanez (17-5-0) also saw his bout come to a remarkably fast finish, as he downed Vinicius Salvador (14-7-0) in just 2:47 of the first round, also by knockout, in a meeting of bantamweights.

Themba Gorimbo (13-4-0) and Angela Hill (17-13-0) also won their fights on Saturday.
