Where have you been since January of 2023, Lauren Murphy?

“I've been in Houston. I started a couple businesses, I broke my ankle, I competed in jiu-jitsu a little bit, and that took about two years.”

“There was a time where I was like, I don't know if I want to fight again, especially right after the fight,” said Murphy, whose last appearance was decision loss to Jessica Andrade on the UFC 283 card in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
