Lerone Murphy has shared his candid opinion on how he felt when he found out that he won’t be fighting UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski next, as Volkanovski will run it back with Diego Lopes.
‘The Great’ will make his first defense of the 145-pound championship of his second reign, at UFC 325 vs. Lopes.
Volkanovski and Lopes fought for the vacant strap earlier this year at UFC 314, and the Australian cruised to a unanimous decision win and became a two-time UFC featherweight champion. He was expected to face Movsar Evloev or Lerone Murphy next.
