UFC Must Give Murphy Another Headliner

Related Topics: Lerone Murphy, Edson Barboza, UFC

On paper, not every UFC card is going to have the “Wow!” factor that will have people say “All right. This show looks good. Let me cancel my plans for tonight and watch this.” As mentioned in the past, while the highlight-reel knockouts are great to see and will grab the headlines every week, it’s fights like our focus here that are just as good.

Submitted for your approval: On Saturday night, No. 12 contender Edson Barboza (24-12 MMA, 18-12 UFC) met unbeaten Lerone Murphy (14-0-1 MMA, 6-0-1 UFC) in the UFC on ESPN+ 99 main event from the UFC Apex.
