UFC on ESPN: Kattar vs. Emmett (also known as UFC on ESPN 37 and UFC Austin) was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on June 18, 2022 at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, United States.[2]
After Frank Erwin Center hosted all previous UFC visits to the city, the newly built Moody Center was the venue for this event.[3]
A featherweight bout between Calvin Kattar and Josh Emmett headlined the event.[4]
A middleweight bout between Phil Hawes and Deron Winn took place at the event.[5] They were previously scheduled to meet at UFC on ESPN: Makhachev vs. Moisés and UFC Fight Night: Dern vs. Rodriguez, but Winn pulled out both times due to injuries.[6][7]
Roman Dolidze and Kyle Daukaus were expected to meet in a middleweight bout at UFC Fight Night: Holloway vs. Rodríguez, but it was cancelled due to COVID-19 protocols related to Dolidze’s camp.[8] They were rebooked for this event.[9]
A middleweight bout between Julian Marquez and Wellington Turman was expected to take place at the event.[10] However, Turman withdrew due to an orbital bone injury and was replaced by Gregory Rodrigues.[11]
A lightweight bout between Joe Lauzon and former UFC Lightweight Championship challenger Donald Cerrone was rescheduled to this event.[12] They were originally scheduled for UFC on ESPN: Font vs. Vera, but were moved to UFC 274 for unknown reasons.[13] In turn, the bout was scrapped on the day of that event when Cerrone suffered from food poisoning.[14] The bout was yet again scrapped the day of this event due to Lauzon suffering from leg cramping.[15]
At the weigh-ins, Tony Kelley weighed in at 137.5 pounds, one and a half pounds over the bantamweight non-title fight limit. His bout proceeded at a catchweight and he was fined 20% of his individual purse, which went to his opponent Adrian Yañez.[16]
