Lauren Murphy picked up another key victory on her path to a title shot on Saturday, but she wishes the result could have been more conclusive.
In a bout that likely determined the next challenger for flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko, Murphy picked up a split decision win over Joanne Calderwood at UFC 263, which took place at Gila River Arena in Glendale Ariz. The first and third rounds of the bout were competitive standup frames, while Murphy won the most convincing round in the second as she worked Calderwood over on the ground.
