Discover the rise of Lerone Murphy, the undefeated UFC fighter aiming to take over the States. Read about his journey and his plans for future fights.
Lerone Murphy, the undefeated English featherweight fighter, is making waves in the UFC with his impressive winning streak. Despite his success, Murphy feels that he is not receiving the recognition he deserves. With five wins under his belt, including a recent victory over Josh Culibao at UFC Fight Night 224 in London, Murphy believes it’s time for his popularity to match his skills.
In a post-fight press conference, Murphy expressed his frustration, stating, "It’s just that I’m not a big talker, isn’t it? If you’re a big talker out here, you get noticed. I’m trying to do it with my fighting and my skills, but I need to be finishing fights, really." He acknowledges that his performance in the octagon is crucial, but he also understands the importance of promoting himself to gain more attention.
Murphy’s undefeated record speaks for itself. With 13 wins and 1 draw, he has proven himself as a top-level fighter in the world. However, he hopes to expand his horizons and showcase his skills to the American audience. Having fought exclusively in the U.K. and Abu Dhabi, Murphy is eager to compete in the United States.
"For sure, I want to travel the world with this," Murphy said. "It’s a short career. I love fighting, I love traveling, so why not blend them together? I would love to fight all over the world. I have not done the States yet, so end of the year in the States, that would be perfect for me – get some different experience and put my name out there in the States. Go take over the States – I would love that."
Murphy’s determination to make a name for himself in the U.S. is fueled by his passion for the sport and his desire to challenge himself against new opponents. He believes that fighting in different locations will provide him with valuable experience and help him establish his presence in the MMA community.
As Murphy continues to climb the ranks of the UFC, he remains focused on his goal of becoming a household name. With his unbeaten record and unwavering determination, it’s only a matter of time before Lerone Murphy’s name is recognized worldwide.
