After leaving Abu Dhabi with a ton of momentum, Lauren Murphy has had a bit of a roller coaster right to say the least.
Murphy earned her fourth straight victory at UFC 254 when she submitted Liliya Shakirova in the second round in a main card flyweight matchup. It was the first submission win of her career and, after well thought out and honest comments in her post-fight interviews, it seemed as if her options were a plenty.
One of those options was a re-booking with Cynthia Calvillo, Murphy’s originally scheduled opponent for October’s PPV event.
